Vetoes End Sahara Mission
The United States and Russia vetoed competing draft resolutions on Western Sahara, leaving the Security Council unable to renew the mandate of the MINURSO mission before it expires on October 31. The U.S. draft called for a one-year extension and for Morocco’s autonomy plan to be adopted as the framework for negotiations, while Russia insisted on extending the mission in its current form. The mission has 155 military personnel and costs about $62 million a year. International organizations warned that its end could weaken ceasefire monitoring and increase the risk of escalation for civilians and refugees.
