South Africa's application for credit from the International Monetary Fund

The General Assembly,

Having learned of the application by South Africa to the International Monetary Fund for a credit of one billion special drawing rights,

Recalling its resolutions on the policies of apartheid of the Government of South Africa, particularly its repeated requests to the International Monetary Fund for the termination of loans and credits to South Africa, and its resolution 36/172 O of 17 December 1981 on investments in South Africa,

1. Again requests the International Monetary Fund to refrain from

granting any credits or other assistance to South Africa;

2. Urges States members of the International Monetary Fund to take appropriate action towards that end;

3. Urges the Security Council to consider the matter as soon as

possible with a view to taking appropriate action;

4. Requests the Secretary-General to undertake urgent

consultations with the International Monetary Fund and to report to the General Assembly as soon as possible on the implementation of the present resolution.
