US Draft modifies Security Council text
The preliminary draft of the United Nations Security Council resolution outlines U.S. support for the Kingdom of Morocco and its territorial integrity regarding Western Sahara. It recommends changing the name of the UN referendum mission to "United Nations Mission for Western Sahara" and terminating its peacekeeping mandate by April 2027, transitioning it into a political mission until the end of October 2027. The draft also calls for a significant reduction in the military component of the mission and emphasizes the importance of maintaining the leadership role of the Personal Envoy, as well as supporting the Moroccan autonomy plan as a basis for negotiations, stressing the need to consult various Sahrawi components. The draft mentions the necessity of registering refugees in Tindouf within six months, with a warning of possible additional measures if there is no progress in the political process, and it calls for international support for negotiations focused on a political solution based on autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty.
