UNITED
NATIONS RESPONSE TO DECLARATION OF TRASNKEI AS AN 'INDEPENDENT
HOMELAND'

General Assembly resolution: Policies of apartheid of the Government of
South Africa - The so-called independent Transkei and other bantustans.
A/RES/31/6 A, 26 October 1976

The General Assembly,

Taking note
that the racist regime of South Africa declared the sham "independence" of
the Transkei on 26 October 1976,

1. Strongly condemns the establishment of bantustans as designed to consolidate
the inhuman policies of apartheid, to destroy the territorial integrity
of the country, to perpetuate White minority domination and to dispossess
the African people of South Africa of their inalienable rights;

2. Rejects the declaration of "independence" of the
Transkei and declares it invalid;

3. Calls upon all Governments to deny any form of recognition to the so-called
independent Transkei and to refrain from having any dealings with the so-called
independent Transkei or other bantustans;

4. Requests all States to take effective measures to prohibit all individuals,
corporations and other institutions under their jurisdiction from having
any dealings with the so-called independent Transkei or other bantustans.
