Abstract: Abstract Chapter 4, which dealt with United Nations sanctions, sketched the record of the UN in regard to South Africa up to the end of 1985 and noted that as a result of heightened concern about deteriorating race relations in the Republic, and with the encouragement of Security Council Resolution 569, the United States, European Community and Commonwealth members imposed some political and economic sanctions in the autumn of that year. US measures banned the export of computers for use by the South African security forces as well as exports of nuclear goods and technology (except as required by IAEA rules on health and safety); prohibited most government loans to the South African government; and proposed a ban on the import of Krugerrands. EC measures ended military co-operation and banned new collaboration in nuclear sectors; banned the export of oil to South Africa and the export of sensitive equipment for use by the South African police; discouraged cultural agreements and froze sporting and security links. Commonwealth sponsored measures were similar to those imposed by the United States.
