United Nations Security Council Resolution 323, adopted on November 22, 1972, after recalling previous resolutions and reaffirming the UN's responsibility for Namibia the Council observed with satisfaction that Namibians had an opportunity of expressing their aspirations to representatives of the UN and noted that the overwhelming majority of the opinions of those consulted were in favor of the abolition of the "homelands" policy and accession to national independence. The Council expressed regret for South Africa's opaqueness regarding self-determination for Namibia and invited the Secretary-General to continue his valuable efforts to ensure that the people of Namibia exercise their right to self-determination and independence. The Resolution also determined that immediately following the partial renewal of membership on the Council new representatives to fill the vacancies that would occur in the group established in accordance with resolution 309 would be appointed.
