PETTY APARTHEID

What’s the difference between the Grand Apartheid and the Petty Apartheid?

• Grand Apartheid was responsible for creating separated Homelands within South Africa

• The Petty Apartheid began with the 1949 Prohibition of Mixed Marriages

Details:

• In 1950, the Inmorality Amendment outlawed "unlawful racial intercourse" between races

• The "Pencil Test" decided who was classified as white.

• 4 groups: White, Black, Indian, and Colored

• For political, diplomatic and economic reasons, certain groups and their descendants, including Japanese, Taiwanese and South Korean immigrants, were classified as "honorary White."

• Only the White group could live free of any restrictions.

• All other racial groups suffered the laws of Petty Apartheid

• The 1953 Separate Amenities Act of 1953 stated that separate facilities no longer had to be "substantially equal."

• There were a handful of places where segregation didn't occur, notably drug-dealing

• nightclubs and churches.

• Blacks could not attend White churches under the 1957 Churches Native Laws Amendment Act, but the law was largely unenforced.

Petty apartheid crimes and injustice:

To maintain the wellness of the whites the government develops an apartheid system, in which the society was separated into four groups: the whites, the Asians, the mixed and the blacks. The White society obtained the best conditions, while the others were segregated.

Some laws were created, like the prohibition of mixed marriage, or the registration act; which consisted of a national register where everyone’s race was recorded.

South Africa is one of the countries with the highest homicide rate, because it´s society is placed as one of the most violent from all times.

Mandela

He was sent to prison for 27 years accused of sabotage and some violence crimes.

CHAPTER 1:

• SECTION 3:To achieve international co-operation in solving international problems of an economic, social, cultural, or humanitarian character, and in promoting and encouraging respect for human rights and for fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race, sex, language, or religion; and

• SECTION 4: To be a centre for harmonizing the actions of nations in the attainment of these common ends.

CHAPTER 2:

• SECTION 2: All Members, in order to ensure to all of them the rights and benefits resulting from membership, shall fulfill in good faith the obligations assumed by them in accordance with the present Charter.

AS A RESULT:

• The United Nations general assembly on the 12 November 1974 suspended South Africa from participating in its work, due to the international opposition to the policy of apartheid.

Taiwan- China

• Taiwan was granted with the "..." title due to the warm economical relations within both countries. ( by 1979, Taiwan had become the 5th largest trading partner).

• The new designation granted to the Japanese seemed grossly unfair to South Africa's small Chinese community (roughly 7,000 at that time), who it seemed, would enjoy none of the new benefits given to the Japanese.
