Washington proposes UN resolution on MINURSO end
Today, Thursday, October 22, 2026, a new American draft resolution was submitted to the Security Council regarding Western Sahara. It includes significant changes to the mandate of the United Nations Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara (MINURSO). The draft proposes ending the military component of the mission and transforming it into a special political mission, endorsing the expanded autonomy proposal under Moroccan sovereignty as the only viable solution. The draft calls for a reduction of the military presence by at least 50% by January 2027, merging some field locations, and setting a timeline to commence the mission's work as a political entity in May 2027. It considers that the optimal solution is autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty and urges direct negotiations between the parties.
