GENERAL GUIDELINES REGARDING THE FORM AND CONTENTS OF REPORTS TO BE SUBMITTED BY STATES PARTIES ON THE SUPPRESSION AND PUNISHMENT OF THE CRIME OF APARTHEID 1. 2. Under article VII of the International Convention on the Suppression and Punishment of the Crime of Apartheid, the States Parties to the Convention undertake ‘to submit periodic reports to the Group established under article IX on the legislative, judicial, administrative or other measures that they have adopted and that give effect to the provisions of the Convention’. The system of apartheid is such an obnoxious institution to Africa that the Commission decided that it would welcome periodic reports on the efforts to eliminate the system. The Commission suggests that reports be submitted on these lines: (a) Information on the legislative, judicial, administrative or other measures that have been adopted and that give effect to the following provisions of the Convention: (i) That apartheid is a crime against humanity and that inhuman acts resulting from the policies and practices of apartheid and similar policies and practices of racial segregation and discrimination, as defined in article II of the Convention, are crimes violating the principles of international law, in particular the purposes and principles of the Charters of the United Nations and the Organization of African Unity, and constituting a serious threat to international peace and security; (ii) That organisations, institutions and individuals committing the crime of apartheid are considered criminal; 21
