Examples of such Ministerial Decrees are: The Decree of the Ministers for Foreign Affairs and of Economic Affairs of 21 November 1980 relating to licensing arrangements for South Africa, and the Decree of the Ministers for Foreign Affairs and of Transport of the same date, relating to the transport of arms to South Africa. Text of both Decrees in Stc. of 24 November 1980, No. 228. Both Decrees served to implement UN Security Council Resolution 418 of 4 November 1977, which reads, inter alia: “(2). Decides that all States shall cease forthwith any provision to South Africa of arms and related matériel of all types, including the sale or transfer of weapons and ammunition, military vehicles and equipment, para-military police equipment, and spare parts for the aforementioned, and shall cease as well the provision of all types of equipment and supplies and grants of licensing arrangements for the manufacture or maintenance of the aforementioned.” See also infra, 13.2.
