1. On 29 July 1970, tlie Secretary-General infomed the President of the
International Court of Ju:;tice that, by a resolution adopted at its 1550th meet-
ing heId on 29 July 1970, the Security Council decided to request the inter-
national Court of Justice i:ogive an advisory opinion on the legal consequences
for States of the continued presence of South Africa in Namibia, notwith-
standing Security Council resolution 276 (1970).
2. The full text of Security Council resolution 284 (1970) containing the
request is as follows:

"TheSecurity Couiacil,
Reafirming the special responsibility of the United Nations with regard
to the territory andthe people of Namibia,
Recalling Security Council resolution 276 (1970) on the question of
Nami bia,
Taking note of the report and recommendations submitted by the Ad
Hoc Sub-Committee established in pursuance of Security Council reso-
lution 276 (1970),
Takingfurther note of the recommendation of the Ad Hoc Sub-Commit-
tee on the possibility of requesting an advisory opinion from the Inter-
national Court of Justice,
Consideriragthat ari advisory opinion from the International Court of
Justice would be usefiifor the Security Council in,its further consideration

of thequestion of Narnibia and in furtherance of the objectives the Council
is seeking,
1. Decides to subniit in accordance with Article 96 (1) of the Charter,
thefollowing questioii to the International Court of Justice with the request
for an advisory opinion which shall be transmitted to the Security Council
at an early date:

'What are the Iq:al consequences for Statesof the continued presence
of South Africa in Namibia, notwithstanding SecurityCouncil resolution
276 (1970)?'
2. Requests the Secretary-General to transmit the present resolution to
the International Court of Justice, in accordance with Article 65 of the
Statute of the Court, accompanied by al1 documents likely to throw- light
upon the question."

3. The present dossier contains documents likely to throw hght -upon the
question on which an advisory opinion of the Court is requested. The docu-
ments which are part of th: records of the Security Council,theGeneral Assem-
bly and the Economic and Social Council, as well as their subsidiary organs,
have been certified to be final official records of the United Nations or true

4. In the light of the discussionswhich took place in the Security Council and
in its Ad Hoc Sub-Committee established in pursuance of Security Council
resolution 2'76(1970) a,d in view of the considerable number of documents to
be transrnitted to the Court within the lirnited time available for their prepara-
tion and reproduction, it has been found necessary to include in the dossier
only those ilocuments which are relevant to the question submitted by the
Security Coiincil to the Court for an advisory opinion and which were issued
in 1966-the year in which the General Assembly adopted resolution 2145
(XXL)entrusting the United Nations with the administration of South West
Africa-and thereafter.
5, The dossier consists of two parts, Part I contains documentation relating
to the procecdings leading to the request by the Security Council for an advisory
opinion of the International Court of Justice. PartII which contains documen-

tation of United Nations organs relating to Namibia (South West Africa), is
sub-divided into three sections:section A consists of the documentation of the
Security Coiincil and its Ad Hoc Sub-Cornmittee referred to above other than
those docunients included in Part 1;section B, the documentation of the Gen-
eral Assemt~ly and its subsidiary organs including the Special Committee on
the Situation with Regard to the lmplementation of the Declaration on the
Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples and the United
Nations Coiincil for Namibia; and section C, the documentation of the Eco-
nomic and Social Council and the Commission on Human Rights.

presentative:; of Burundi, Finland, Nepal, Sierra Leone and Zambia to resume
its consideration of the situation in Namibia in the light of the submission of
