The Council also called upon the government to take all effective measures to bring about the conditions necessary to enable the people of Rhodesia to exercise their right to self-determination, the unconditional release of all political prisoners/detainees/restrictees, the repeal of all repressive and discriminatory legislation and re removal of all restriction on political activity.
