From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

United Nations Security Council Resolution 217, adopted on November 20, 1965, determined that the situation resulting from the UDI was extremely grave and that the Government of the United Kingdom should put an end to it as it constitutes a threat to international peace and security. The Council also called upon nations not to recognize what it deemed "this illegal authority" or entertain diplomatic relations with it. It also asked all states to refrain from economic relations with Rhodesia.
