The implementation of sanctions against Rhodesia by the
Government nas investigated. Findigs/Conclunions: The economic
and political existence of Rhodesia for the past 11 years is
evidence that the Unite* Nationst sanction3 have not been
Completely effective. Certain allegations of violations made
against U.S. firms have been referred to the Government for
inrestigation 4nd .nction. The Government has taken action
against some domestic businesies and firms in third countries
that have purchased and reexported O.S. products to Rhodesia.
The U.S. generally follows the United Nations' sanctions, except
in matters where restricticns would be contrarl to U.S. law.
Under the Executive orders implementing the sanctions, the
Departments of Treasury, Commerce, and Transportation are
delegated primary responsibility tc carry cat the purposes of
the order. As U.S. laws take precedence over bct'h the United
Nations' Fesolution and the Executive orders, U.S. firms and
individuals are legally not complying with the sanctions in such
areas as allowing for the import of strategic materials from
Rhodesia and traveling to Rhodesia as tourists. Agencies charged
with administering the sanction regulations have not emphasized
enforcement of the United Nations' sanctions. (Author/SC)](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.gao/gaobaacdx0001&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
