AHG/Res. 85 (XIV)
Conscious of the need for a solidarity and unfailing co-operation among all
member States of the OAU, so as to preserve their non-alignment approach vis-a-vis the
blocs;
Considering that the relevant resolutions of the UN and the OAU including the
recent official statements by leaders of the big powers are in line with non-interference
in internal affairs of African States;
1. RECOMMENDS that Member States exert every effort so that, in respecting
the OAU Charter, they may safeguard their identity and remain outside
conflicts, especially ideological conflicts, emanating from without the African
Continent;
2. To this end, URGENTLY CALLS ON all African states so that, without
prejudice to their right to conclude defence agreements of their choice
intended especially to forestall outside aggressions, they refrain from having
recourse to foreign intervention in the settlement of conflicts between African
States.
3. CALLS ON all extra-African powers, particularly the big ones, to refrain
from interfering in the internal affairs of African States;
4. FURTHER CALLS ON Member States to prohibit the use of their territories
as base for political subversive activities against another African State as well
as the maintenance and the establishment of foreign military bases on their
territories, and requests then to liquidate the foreign military bases existing
on the African continent;
5. RECALLS, in this context, that the interference in the internal affairs of
States poses grave threats to international peace and Security since it creates
favorable conditions for questioning the personality and the values of which
African States repose;
6. STRONGLY EMPHASISES that the situation thus created is prejudicial to
the stability and development of African States;
