I hereby move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes that on 21 March 2011 South Africa celebrated Human Rights Day and that this day is also the International Day for the Elimination of Discrimination;
2) further notes that the day commemorates the 51st anniversary of the Sharpeville massacre, in which 69 black South Africans protesting against the pass laws were indiscriminately shot dead by the apartheid police;
3) recognises the ultimate sacrifice of these South Africans in opposing the racist apartheid laws;
4) further recognises that in a democratic South Africa the Bill of Rights enshrines the equality of all South Africans and the protection of human rights;
5) calls upon all South Africans to recognise and respect the constitutional principles of nonracism and nonsexism; and
(6) condemns the violation of human rights both locally and internationally where it occurs.
Agreed to.
