Achkar Marof of Guinea, chairman of the UN General Assembly's Special Committee on Apartheid, accused the Japanese government on July 27 of selling arms and shotguns to South Africa under the label of "hunting guns."' He revealed that Japanese officials are considering selling under the same label "a highly sophisticated 7,62 mm, rifle, used by Japan's ground forces." Japan had reported to the United Nations that it was applying a strict arms embargo against South Africa. ,
