The discussion of the Russian veto in the General Assembly revealed broad international support for negotiations based on Morocco’s autonomy proposal. The European Union, speaking on behalf of its 27 member states, along with the United States and the United Kingdom, renewed their support for negotiations, while France and the six Gulf Cooperation Council states affirmed their support for Morocco’s sovereignty over the Sahara and several countries criticized the use of the veto. The U.S. draft had received the support of 11 Security Council members before Russia rejected it on October 30. Moscow said it had objected to what it viewed as the marginalization of the Polisario’s position. The session may set the stage for a forthcoming diplomatic test: Morocco intends to work to remove the Sahara file from the Fourth Committee, and its success will depend on how willing countries that support autonomy are to back that move.
