Termination of the Arms Embargo on South Africa

AGENCY: Department of State.

ACTION: Public Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that it is no longer the policy of the 
United States to deny licenses, other approvals, exports and imports of 
defense articles and defense services, destined for or originating in 
South Africa. The Department of State will, on a case-by-case basis, 
consider all requests for licenses and other approvals to export or 
otherwise transfer defense articles or defense services to South 
Africa.

EFFECTIVE DATE: June 8, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Dean A. Rogers, Office of Export Control Policy, Bureau of Political-
Military Affairs, Department of State (202-647-4231).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: It is the policy of the U.S. Government to 
review, on a case-by-case basis, all requests for licenses and 
approvals authorizing the export or other transfer to South Africa of 
items on the U.S. Munitions List (22 CFR part 121).
    This notice implements U.N. Security Council Resolution 919 which 
terminated the mandatory U.N. Security Council arms embargo on South 
Africa which was imposed by Resolution 418 of November 4, 1977. The 
Council's actions follow the first all-race multiparty election and the 
establishment of a democratic South African Government inaugurated on 
May 10, 1994.
    The licenses and approvals subject to this policy include 
manufacturing licenses, technical assistance agreements, technical 
data, and commercial military exports of any kind involving South 
Africa under the authority of the Arms Export Control Act.
    This action has been taken pursuant to Sections 2 and 38 of the 
Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. Secs. 2752 and 2778) in furtherance 
of the foreign policy of the United States.

    Dated: June 13, 1994.
Robert L. Gallucci,
Assistant Secretary, Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, Department 
of State.
