Security Council Resolution 217 passes and calls upon the government of the United Kingdom to “quell” the “rebellion” in Rhodesia, further urging the U.K. to “take all other appropriate measures which would prove effective in eliminating the authority […] and bringing the minority régime in Southern Rhodesia to an immediate end.” The resolution further calls upon all UN member states to “break off all economic relations with Southern Rhodesia, including an embargo on oil and petroleum products.”
