The system of racial segregation and oppression in South Africa known as apartheid was implemented and enforced by many acts and other laws. This legislation served to institutionalize racial discrimination and the dominance by white people over people of other races. While the bulk of this legislation was enacted after the election of the National Party government in 1948, it was preceded by discriminatory legislation enacted under earlier British and Afrikaner governments. Apartheid is distinguished from segregation in other countries by the systematic way in which it was formalized in law.

Apartheid laws in the context of Expulsion from the United Nations
Expulsion from the United Nations is a procedure under Article 6, Chapter II of the United Nations Charter when a member state of the United Nations can be expelled from the organization. This can be done when a member state has persistently violated the principles of the United Nations Charter. No state has ever been expelled from the UN, although the exclusion of the Republic of China (replaced by the People's Republic of China) through General Assembly Resolution 2758 and the suspension of South Africa due to its apartheid laws had a similar effect.
Separately, Article 5 of the Charter allows for suspension of a state's membership through the same procedure.
