Russia explains UN veto
Russia’s Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN, Anna Evstigneeva, acknowledged Morocco’s efforts to develop infrastructure and support economic development in the Sahara. However, she said this did not automatically give Rabat priority in reaching a settlement, and stressed that the positions of Morocco and the Polisario Front, as well as the aspirations of the Sahrawis, must be taken into account. She affirmed that Moscow’s aim in using its veto was not to end the MINURSO mission, explaining that Russia had proposed extending its mandate by one year. But its draft resolution failed to secure the required nine votes, while the US draft received the support of 11 members and was blocked by Russia’s veto. The mission’s mandate expired on October 31, and the UN began winding it down on November 1.
