RESOLUTION ON NEED FOR SOLIDARITY OF MEMBER COUNTRIES IN THE CELEBRATION OF THE 6^TH

ALL-AFRICA GAMES IN ZIMBABWE

The Council of Ministers of the Organization of African Unity meeting in its Sixty-Second Ordinary Session in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, from 21 to 23 June, 1995,

Recalling the Resolution passed by the Fifty-Second Ordinary Session of the OAU Council of Ministers conferring OAU patronage and support for the All-Africa Games,

Bearing in Mind the Resolution adopted at the Sixtieth Ordinary Session of the OAU Council of Ministers calling on Member States to individually and collectively contribute to the success of the 6^th edition of the All-Africa Games in Zimbabwe by taking part en masse,

Taking into account the crucial financial situation of SCSA caused by the non-payment by Member States of their statutory contributions to the Budget of the Organization,

Considering that the OAY Council of Ministers has on several occasions decried this state of affairs,

Desirous to secure adequate resources for SCSA to enable it perform the missions assigned to it efficiently and to contribute to the proper organization and conduct of the 6 ^th All-Africa Games,

Realizing that quality and quantity participation in the 6^th All-Africa Games will attract good competitive sponsorship for future editions of the All-Africa Games:

1. REITERATES the call made to Member States at the 60^th Session to individually and collectively contribute to the success of the 6^th All-Africa Games in Zimbabwe, from 18 to 25 September, 1995 by taking part massively;

2. STRONGLY APPEALS to all Member States to show proof of solidarity by taking all appropriate measures to be in good financial standing in SCSA prior to the opening of the 6^th All-Africa Games in Zimbabwe.
