New York,
15/12/ 2006 (SPS) Polisario Front and Saharawi Government expressed
their satisfaction about the adoption on Thursday, by the UN General
Assembly, of a new resolution reaffirming the need of the
decolonisation of the Western Sahara.
"Polisario Front and the Saharawi Government are satisfied with the
adoption of such a resolution and consider that this is a new
success for the international legality", affirmed the Saharawi
Minister for Foreign Affairs, Mohamed Salem Ould Salek, in a
statement publicised in New York after the vote of the
resolution.
To Mr. Ould Salek, the adoption of this resolution "has, anew,
rejected the Moroccan attempts to legitimise its occupation" of the
Saharawi territory.
"The UN General Assembly adopted on Thursday a resolution on the
Western Sahara that underlined the UN responsibility about the
Saharawi people and reaffirmed the need to decolonise the Saharawi
territory, which is considered as the last colony in Africa", the
Head of the Saharawi Republic’s diplomacy recalled.
He added that the resolution "reaffirms the support to the Saharawi
people’s right to self-determination and independence" and also
reaffirmed, according to Ould Salek, "the validity of the Peace Plan
(Baker Plan) for the self-determination of the people of the Western
Sahara, endorsed by the UN and the international community and
accepted by the Moroccan Kingdom and Polisario Front", the two
parties to the conflict. (SPS)
