Moroccan Sahara: The UN GA reaffirms the exclusivity of the UN's political process.

The United Nations General Assembly (UN GA) has reaffirmed its support for the UN's exclusive political process in resolving the Western Sahara dispute, also known as the Moroccan Sahara. This decision emphasizes the UN's central role in facilitating a peaceful and lasting solution to the conflict while rejecting any attempts to undermine or bypass the UN-led process. The UN GA's reaffirmation of the UN's exclusivity in the political process is a significant development, as it reinforces Morocco's commitment to finding a solution within the framework of the UN.

The United Nations General Assembly has just adopted a resolution reaffirming its support for the political process led exclusively under the auspices of the United Nations Security Council for the settlement of the regional dispute around the Moroccan Sahara.


Thus, the General Assembly confirmed the resolution adopted by the 4th committee last October.

The resolution adopted on Wednesday calls on all parties to fully cooperate with the UN Secretary-General in achieving a political solution to this regional dispute based on the resolutions adopted by the Security Council since 2007.

She thus supports the political process based on the Security Council resolutions adopted since 2007, aiming for a "just, sustainable, and mutually acceptable political solution" to the question of the Moroccan Sahara.

The document commends the efforts made in this direction and invites all parties to fully cooperate with the Secretary-General and with each other in order to achieve a "mutually acceptable political solution.".

This resolution, like its predecessors and those adopted by the United Nations Security Council for two decades, never mentions the referendum, which is as good as dead and buried by both the Secretary-General of the United Nations and the General Assembly and the United Nations Security Council.

The United Nations General Assembly also congratulates in this resolution that the parties have committed to continue demonstrating political will and working in a conducive atmosphere for dialogue, based on the efforts made and new facts that have occurred since 2006, thereby ensuring the implementation of the Security Council resolutions since 2007.

Thus, it should be noted that the only new element that has occurred in the political process since 2006 is the initiative of autonomy presented by Morocco on April 11, 2007.

In this regard, the text supports the Security Council's resolutions since 2007, which have dedicated the primacy of the autonomy initiative presented by Morocco, hailed by the executive body and the entire international community as a serious and credible initiative for the definitive settlement of this regional dispute within the framework of sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Kingdom.

The resolution also supports the recommendations of resolutions 2440, 2468, 2494, 2548, 2602, 2654, and 2703, all of which are dedicated to resolution 2756 adopted in late October 2024. This resolution sets the parameters for the solution to the regional dispute in the Moroccan Sahara, namely a political, realistic, pragmatic, sustainable, and compromise-based solution.

The resolutions 2440, 2468, 2494, 2548, 2602, 2654, 2703, and 2756, as a reminder, have dedicated themselves to the round table process and have, once and for all, defined its four participants, namely Morocco, Algeria, Mauritania, and the "Polisario." Indeed, these resolutions cite Algeria, alongside Morocco, five times, thereby reaffirming Algeria's role as a principal party in this regional dispute.

These Security Council resolutions also commend the measures and initiatives taken by Morocco for the promotion and protection of human rights in its Southern provinces and the role played by the National Human Rights Council's Commissions in Laayoune and Dakhla, as well as Morocco's interaction with the mechanisms of the United Nations Human Rights Council.

They also reiterate the executive body of the UN's request for the registration and census of populations in the Tindouf camps and demand the deployment of necessary efforts for this purpose. This General Assembly resolution in no way refers to a supposed imaginary war that Algeria and its puppet, the "Polisario," claim to exist in the Moroccan Sahara.

Thus, following the Security Council, the United Nations General Assembly exposes, in turn, the lies and fabrications of Algeria and the "Polisario" regarding the situation in Morocco's Sahara, characterized by tranquility, stability, and all-round development.
