Moroccan Violations Persist in Western Sahara
During the 63rd session of the Human Rights Council in Geneva, warnings were issued regarding the ongoing violations by the Moroccan occupation in Western Sahara. International delegations called for permitting the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights to access the occupied territory and to establish an independent mechanism to monitor the human rights situation. Participants emphasized that the lack of independent international oversight hinders the documentation of violations and further isolates the victims, amid growing concern over repression, detentions of defenders, and journalists. They also pointed out that the continued occupation prevents the Sahrawi people from exercising their right to self-determination and clarified that renewable energy projects do not legitimize the occupation or diminish the rights of the Sahrawi people.
