152 Countries Back UN Sahrawi Self-Determination
The General Assembly of the United Nations, through the Special Political and Decolonization Committee, adopted a resolution supporting the Sahrawi people's right to self-determination and independence, with the approval of 152 countries. The resolution emphasized that the Western Sahara issue is a decolonization matter and that colonialism must be ended there, based on previous decisions such as Security Council Resolution 690 (1991) and General Assembly Resolution 1514 (1960). It reaffirmed the United Nations' responsibility to monitor the implementation of the Sahrawi people's right to self-determination and underscored the need for reports from the Secretary-General and the General Assembly on the execution of this resolution, rejecting Morocco's attempts to distort the legal nature of the issue. The head of the Polisario Front responded to the resolution by affirming support for international law and the Sahrawi people's right to self-determination, expressing rejection of efforts to promote proposals that hinder independence and entrench occupation.
