UN General Assembly Reiterates Support for UN-Led Political Process in Resolving the Moroccan Sahara Issue
On Monday, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution reiterating its support for the exclusive UN Security Council-led political process to address the regional dispute concerning the Moroccan Sahara.
The resolution reaffirms the stance taken by the 4th Committee in October and urges all involved parties to fully cooperate with the UN Secretary-General and his Personal Envoy in order to achieve a political resolution to the regional dispute. This resolution is to be based on Security Council resolutions passed since 2007.
The text emphasizes the political process rooted in the 19 Security Council resolutions since 2007, all aiming for a "realistic, practicable, enduring, and compromise-based" political solution to the Moroccan Sahara question.
Similar to previous resolutions from the General Assembly and the Security Council over the past two decades, the current text notably omits any reference to a referendum, an approach now deemed obsolete by UN leadership.
The document acknowledges the commitment of all parties to demonstrate political will and collaborate in a spirit of realism and compromise. Notably, it highlights that since 2006, the only development has been Morocco's introduction of the Autonomy Initiative in 2007.
The resolution solidly supports the Security Council resolutions following Morocco's presentation of the Autonomy Plan for the Sahara. The Council consistently commends the Initiative for its seriousness and credibility in providing a framework for resolving the regional dispute while safeguarding Morocco's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
The text restates the parameters outlined by the Security Council for resolving the dispute, emphasizing a political solution that is realistic, practicable, and enduring, based on compromise and involving Algeria as a primary party.
In contrast to assertions made by Algeria and the "Polisario," the resolution does not make any reference to an alleged "war" in the Moroccan Sahara. Similar to recent Security Council statements, the General Assembly refutes these claims, exposing them as misinformation aimed at concealing the actual situation marked by peace, stability, and development.
