UN urged to act against South Africa over breach of Solidarity agreement Solidarity today lodged a formal complaint with the International Labour Organization (ILO) of the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland, against the South African government. The complaint follows the government’s breach of an agreement reached with Solidarity regarding racial legislation. The agreement, which was concluded under the supervision of the ILO, stipulated, among other things, that racial laws should be temporary in nature, that no one may be dismissed based on race, that race may not be the sole criterion for appointment to a position, and that skills must be considered. The agreement further provided that these provisions had to be published as regulations in the Government Gazette.The agreement was made a court order, but the government failed to publish it as regulations and has therefore acted in contempt of court. According to Dr Dirk Hermann, Chief Executive of Solidarity, the government is not only disregarding the processes of an international body but is also showing contempt for the local courts.
