United Nations Security Council Resolution 284, adopted on July 29, 1970, after reaffirming previous resolutions, noting a report from the Ad Hoc Sub-Committee established in resolution 276 and considering an advisory opinion from the International Court of Justice might be useful the Council decided to submit the following question to the ICJ for an advisory opinion; "What are the legal consequences for States of the continued presence of South Africa in Namibia notwithstanding Security Council resolution 276 (1970)?". The Council requested the Secretary-General to transmit the resolution, along with all documents likely to throw light upon to the question to the Court.[1]
The resolution was adopted by 12 votes; the People's Republic of Poland, Soviet Union and the United Kingdom abstained.
