The statement goes further to make a crucial point with respect to our discussion. Namely, it confirms the philosophical relevance of using the sporting world as a way to gain international attention and reinforces the rationale that this approach to change would help to illuminate the broader racial struggles in South Africa. Quite indeed, the United Nations would take up the logic that any endorsement of the validity of all-white South African teams would amount to a tacit endorsement of a racially oppressive governmental regime. It is thus that through the avenue of international sporting association, the world community would denounce not just its segregation in its domestic and international sporting representation, but would go on to explicitly denounce the Apartheid and that which it stood for.

In the resolution, the larger part of the 1970s and 1980s would be devoted to an internal anti-Apartheid movement strengthened by the participation of chapters from all over the world.
By the late 1980s, South Africa would be totally isolated in the sporting world, with its football teams and Olympic groups excluded from representing the nation. Certainly, this would not alone bring about the end of Apartheid but it would constitute a significant force of pressure upon the South African government, would help to isolate it culturally and would help to draw political and activist attention to policies of racial segregation that persisted through 1994 when more general resistance finally brought the monstrous policy and its supporting government to their knees. Today, a free and desegregated South Africa participates freely, proudly and according to its racial diversity in the world's shared sporting tradition.
