South Africa is working to fulfill its obligation to suppress the Israeli apartheid through proposing a bill that makes it illegal for South African government and private sector to have trade or diplomatic ties with Israel. Member of Parliament Mandla Mandela has endorsed that bill during this year’s Israel Apartheid Week.
This falls within article IV of the Apartheid Convention in which States Parties are “to adopt any legislative or other measures necessary to suppress as well as to prevent any encouragement of the crime of apartheid and similar segregationist policies or their manifestations and to punish persons guilty of that crime.”
