The mandate of the United Nations Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara (MINURSO) expired on October 31, 2026, without a new resolution to extend it. UN Secretary-General António Guterres announced that the mission’s operations had officially ended—a development Morocco described as achieving a goal that Algerian Foreign Minister Ahmed Attaf had long talked about. A US draft resolution to extend the mandate for a year, with amendments, failed despite receiving the support of 11 members after Russia used its veto. A Russian draft to extend it through October 31, 2027, was also defeated: it received three votes in favor, and the United States used its veto. Rabat said the end of the 35-year mission marked a shift from managing the conflict to changing the rules for dealing with it, and a step toward closing the Western Sahara file at the United Nations.
