The Fourth Committee of the UN General Assembly has just adopted without a vote a resolution reiterating its support for the political process carried out under the exclusive auspices of the United Nations for the settlement of the regional dispute around the Moroccan Sahara.
The resolution calls on all parties to fully cooperate with the UN Secretary-General to achieve a political solution to this regional dispute based on resolutions adopted by the Security Council since 2007.
It thus supports the political process based on Security Council resolutions adopted since 2007, with a view to achieving a “just, lasting and mutually acceptable political” solution to the Moroccan Sahara question.
The document, adopted on Thursday, commends the efforts made in this direction, and calls on all parties to cooperate fully with the Secretary-General, and with each other, in order to achieve a “mutually acceptable political solution”.
This resolution, like its previous ones and those adopted by the Security Council over the past two decades, at no time cites the referendum, dead and buried by both the UN Secretary General and the General Assembly. and the United Nations Security Council.
The UN General Assembly also welcomes in this resolution that the parties have committed to continue to demonstrate political will and to work in an atmosphere conducive to dialogue, based on the efforts made and the developments that have occurred since 2006, thus ensuring the implementation of Security Council resolutions since 2007.
Thus, it should be noted that the only new development that has occurred in the political process since 2006 is the presentation by Morocco on April 11, 2007 of the autonomy initiative.
In this regard, the resolution supports the Security Council resolutions since 2007, which have established the preeminence of the autonomy initiative presented by Morocco, welcomed by the Executive Body and the entire international community as being a serious and credible initiative for the definitive settlement of this regional dispute within the framework of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Kingdom.
The text also supports the recommendations of resolutions 2440, 2468, 2494, 2548, 2602, 2654 and 2703, adopted at the end of October 2023, which determine the parameters of the solution to the regional dispute over the Moroccan Sahara, namely a political, realistic, pragmatic, sustainable and based on compromise.
Resolutions 2440, 2468, 2494, 2548, 2602, 2654 and 2703 devoted, as we recall, the round table process and defined, once and for all, its four participants, namely Morocco, Algeria , Mauritania and the “Polisario”. Indeed, resolutions 2440, 2468, 2494, 2548, 2602, 2654 and 2703 cite Algeria, in the same way as Morocco, five times, thus reaffirming Algeria’s role as the main party to this dispute. regional.
These Security Council resolutions also welcome 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 Commissions of the National Rights Council of Human Rights in Laâyoune and Dakhla, as well as Morocco’s interaction with the mechanisms of the United Nations Human Rights Council.
They also reiterate the request of the UN executive body for the registration and census of the populations of the Tindouf camps, and demand the deployment of the necessary efforts to this end. This resolution of the 4th committee of the General Assembly in no way refers to a so-called imaginary war that Algeria and its puppet the “Polisario” claim to exist in the Moroccan Sahara.
Thus, after the Security Council, the Commission in turn exposes the lies and fabrications of Algeria and the “Polisario” regarding the situation in the Moroccan Sahara marked by tranquility, stability and development. all-round.
