The Security Council has relied on Morocco's plan for Saharan autonomy and has extended its mission for another year
The UN Security Council has decided to extend its mission to the referendum in Western Sahara by one year, but on the basis of Morocco's autonomy plan , which has colonized the area.
11 countries have voted in favour and, since no one has exercised their right of veto, the US proposal has been successful. Algeria, China and Russia have abstained.
MINURSO's term of office expired today, but with its approval it will remain in force until October 2026.
The US envoy to the UN, Mike Waltz, has argued that the text adopted was "the result of a genuine and constant effort to internalize everyone's proposals" and has stated that his country has "a profound determination to support an acceptable solution for the former Spanish colony."
"We urge all parties to take advantage of it in the coming weeks to sit down at the table and participate in serious talks, using Morocco's proposal for autonomy, which is credible, and which is the only fair and lasting solution," he said.
