US vetoes Sahara draft
The United States vetoed a Russian draft resolution on the Moroccan Sahara after Russia had vetoed the US proposal. The Russian draft received the support of three members, while 11 abstained and Washington voted against it. It sought to extend MINURSO’s mandate until 31 October 2027 without changing its composition or tasks, and called for a political solution based on self-determination without making Morocco’s autonomy initiative the sole basis for negotiations. The defeat of both drafts brought the dispute back to the Security Council, where consultations are expected to take place to reach a compromise formula for renewing the mission’s mandate and avoiding a gap in its operations.
