    United Nations Security Council Resolution 202, adopted on May 6, 1965, after reaffirming motions from the General Assembly, the Council requested that no member state accept a Unilateral Declaration of Independence from Southern Rhodesia and that the United Kingdom take all measures necessary to prevent it.

The Council requested that the UK work toward and equitable constitution and for the future independence of a majority-ruled Southern Rhodesia.[1]
