South Africa Escapes U N Sanctions Vote At U N
United Nations General Assembly failed to muster a two thirds vote to impose stringent sanctions on South Africa over apartheid. A 42 to 34 roll call with 21 abstentions blocked the tougher clause, while a milder measure deploring apartheid passed 95 to 1 with the United States supporting it. The U S also urged negotiations with India and Pakistan on treatment of Indian and Pakistani origin residents.
