Date: 17 November, 1959

The United Nations adopts resolution 1375 (XIV) on Apartheid. This resolution is similar to resolution 1248 (XIII) adopted on 30 October 1958 and is expressed with 'deep regret and concern'. Only one paragraph refers specifically to South Africa, expressing that '... the South African government has not yet responded to appeals of the General Assembly that it reconsider governmental policies which impair the right of all racial groups to enjoy the same rights and freedoms.'
