Brussels,
20/12/2006 (SPS) The Minister delegated to Europe, Mohamed Sidati,
asked the European Union to compel Morocco respect the international
legality and the fundamental human rights in the occupied Saharawi
territories.
M. Sidati denounced the abuses to which the Saharawi population are
subjected since May 2005; especially the human rights defenders in
the occupied territories of the Western Sahara.
He estimated that the European Union must "at least force" Rabat to
respect the dispositions of the EU-Morocco fishing agreement that
engage the European Union to impose the respect of human rights and
the principles of democracy.
The many reports issued by Amnesty international and other
international NGOs in addition to the report lately published by the
UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, reported human rights
violated in the occupied territories of the Western Sahara, the
Polisario Front’s representative recalled.
And despite of the clear dispositions on human rights in the
aforementioned accords, Sidati regretted, the EU did not undertake
"the least measure against Morocco".
In the opposite, the EU, he added, signed fishing accords with
Morocco including the territories of the Western Sahara, "violating
thus the sovereignty of the Saharawi people on their natural
resources, as recognised by the international legality". (SPS)
