AFR/RC12/R17:

The Regional Committee,

Considering that the Government of the Republic of South Africa, in spite of its long association with the World Health Organization, accepts and practises the policy of apartheid, which policy subjects indigenous African citizens to racial discrimination to the detriment of their physical, mental and social wellbeing, in contravention of the principles, aims, and purposes of the Constitution of the World Health Organization,

Considering the increasing trend on the part of the Member States of the Region to refuse to admit on their own territory the representatives of the Government of South Africa or to sit side by side with them in regional meetings,

Considering that such a situation is liable in the near future to paralyze the functioning of the Regional African Organization and to prevent the Regional Committee from fulfilling its constitutional functions,

Recognizing that the Constitution does not provide for the cessation of the membership of a State,

Being conscious however of the needs of the South African population and of the necessity for the World Health Organization to be able to assist this population,

1. REQUESTS the Director-General to draw the attention of the next World Health Assembly to this situation; and

2. REQUESTS the World Health Assembly to study the appropriate measures to put an end to this situation, but without prejudicing the health rights of the South African population.
