Measures imposed in other resolutions would also be ended. The Committee of the Security Council established in Resolution 421 was also dissolved.
Thabo Mbeki, Deputy President of South Africa, welcomed the lifting of restrictions, stating that they were "acceptance by the world body that we (South Africa) have become a democratic country".[2]
