The Council recognized the international disturbance at South Africa's actions and expressed its concern over them. The Resolution condemned South Africa's actions and demanded that it respect the territorial integrity of Angola. The Council further demanded that South Africa desist from using the "international Territory of Namibia" to mount provocative or aggressive acts against other states and called upon the South African government to meet Angola's just claims for compensation.

The resolution was adopted with nine votes to none; France, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and United States abstained from voting, while the People's Republic of China did not participate in voting.
