Algiers,
18/12/2006 (SPS) The Algerian National Committee of Solidarity with
the Saharawi People (CNASPS-in French abbreviation) hailed the
adoption by the 61st session of the UN General Assembly of a
resolution reaffirming that the question of the Western Sahara is a
decolonisation question, CNASPS indicated on Sunday in a press
release.
CNASPS "notes with satisfaction the adoption by the 61st session of
the UN General Assembly of a resolution reaffirming anew that the
settlement of the Western Sahara question must be conform to the
international legality".
To the Committee, this "is a proof that the principle of the
peoples’ right to govern themselves is the only solution that
conforms (...) to the resolution 1514 (XV) of the 20 December 1960
of the UN General Assembly, and conforms to the Peace Plan (Baker
Plan) and to t resolution 1495 of the UN Security Council of 31 July
2003".
The Un General Assembly (GA) adopted a new resolution, on Thursday
with 70 vote in favour and none against, a clearly reaffirming that
the conflict of the Western Sahara is a decolonisation issue
dependent on the implementation of the resolution 1514 and which
solution must intervene through the exercise by the Saharawi people
of their inalienable right to self-determination.
The resolution of the UN General Assembly’s 61th session, affirmed
the validity of the Settlement plan of 1990 as well as the Peace
Plan for the self-determination of the people of the Western Sahara
as the optimal political solution for the conflict in the Western
Sahara.
The resolution also affirmed that the Western Sahara question is the
responsibility of the UN and that it is the duty of the UN to work
with a view to resolve the problem conforming to the international
legality and to the UN’s doctrine regarding decolonisation.
With this resolution Morocco has been reminded by the main bodies of
the UN, in less than three months, that the question of the Western
Sahara is a decolonisation question which settlement can only be
through the exercise of self-determination of the Saharawi people. (SPS)
