(1978), and hearing representations from various countries, the council expressed its concern about the military operations undertaken by the "illegal regime" against countries both bordering and non-contiguous with
Southern Rhodesia. The council was also indignant at the execution and sentences against persons under repressive laws.
Resolution 445 continued to express concern at member states who were to send observers to the "
so-called elections" in April 1979, the result of which the council would not recognise. The council also commended
Angola, Mozambique,
Zambia and other states for their support for the people of
Zimbabwe, encouraging other Member States to provide support to them.
Finally, the council proposed to extend and widen the
international sanctions against Southern Rhodesia, asking the committee established in Resolution 253 to consider further measures and report back to the council by 23 March 1979.
The resolution passed with 12 votes to none against, with 3 abstentions from
France, the
United Kingdom and
United States.
