United Nations Security Council Resolution 919, adopted unanimously on May 25, 1994, after recalling all resolutions on South Africa, in particular resolutions 282 (1970), 418 (1977), 421 (1977), 558 (1984) and 591 (1986), the Council welcomed the recent general elections and new government and decided, under Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter, to terminate the arms embargo and all other restrictions against South Africa.[1]
Measures imposed in other resolutions would also be ended. The Committee of the Security Council established in Resolution 421 was also dissolved.
Thabo Mbeki, Deputy President of South Africa, welcomed the lifting of restrictions, stating that they were "acceptance by the world body that we [South Africa] have become a democratic country".[2]
