UN Renews Support to Political Process to Resolve Western Sahara Dispute

UN Renews Support to Political Process to Resolve Western Sahara Dispute

The United Nations Special Political and Decolonization Committee, known as the Fourth Committee, adopted on Friday a resolution reiterating its support to the political process under the exclusive UN auspices to resolve the regional dispute over the Moroccan Sahara.
The resolution calls on all parties to cooperate fully with the UN Secretary-General and his personal envoy to achieve a “just, lasting and mutually acceptable political solution” to the Moroccan Sahara issue.

It didn’t mention the referendum mentioned in previous resolutions adopted by the Security Council over the past two decades.

The UN General Assembly also welcomed this resolution.

The text supports the Security Council resolutions issued since 2007, which have enshrined the pre-eminence of the autonomy initiative presented by Morocco.

The executive body and the international community welcomed the initiative as a serious and credible initiative for the final settlement of this regional dispute within the framework of the kingdom’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

The text also supports the recommendations of resolutions 2440, 2468, 2494 and 2548, enshrined in resolution 2602, adopted on October 29, 2021, which determine the parameters of the solution to the regional dispute over the Moroccan Sahara, namely a political solution that is realistic, pragmatic, sustainable and based on compromise.

These Security Council resolutions also commend the measures and initiatives taken by Morocco to promote and protect human rights in its southern provinces, and the role played by the National Human Rights Council Commissions in Laayoune and Dakhla, as well as Morocco's interaction with the mechanisms of the UN Human Rights Council.

They also reiterate the request of the UN executive body to register and census the populations of the Tindouf camps, and demand the deployment of the necessary efforts to this end.
