Description
Resolution 163 concerns the situation in Angola, then under Portuguese rule. The text was adopted on 9 June 1961, though the catalog record gives 1960. The Council deplores large-scale killings and harsh repressive measures in Angola, and notes the grave concern felt across Africa and beyond.
The Council is convinced the situation in Angola can cause friction between states and endanger peace. It recalls Assembly Resolution 1514 of 1960, which declared that holding peoples under foreign rule denies basic human rights and called for power to be transferred to the peoples of such territories. It also notes that Angola had been declared a Non-Self-Governing Territory under the Charter.
