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;
