The implementation of sanctions against Rhodesia by the government
was investigated. The economic and political existence of Rhodesia
for the past 11 years is evidence that the United Nations'
sanctions have not been completely effective. Certain allegations
of violations made against U.S. firms have been referred to the
government for investigation and action. The government has taken
action against some domestic businesses and firms in third
countries that have purchased and reexported U.S. products to
Rhodesia. The U.S. generally follows the United Nations' sanctions,
except in matters where restrictions would be contrary to U.S. law.
Under the Executive Orders implementing the sanctions, the
Departments of Treasury, Commerce, and Transportation are delegated
primary responsibility to carry out the purposes of the order. As
U.S. laws take precedence over both the United Nations' Resolution
and the Executive Orders, U.S. firms and individuals are legally
not complying with the sanctions in such areas as allowing for the
import of strategic materials from Rhodesia and traveling to
Rhodesia as tourists. Agencies charged with administering the
sanction regulations have not emphasized enforcement of the United
Nations' sanctions.
