Madrid, 27/12/2006 (SPS) The Parliament of the Spanish
autonomous region of Navarre (North-East Spain) unanimously adopted
a political motion, on Tuesday, to support the prompt organisation
of a self-determination referendum in the Western Sahara under the
auspices of the United Nations.
The Navarre Parliament underlined in a motion that the
self-determination referendum is an "inalienable right recognised to
all the colonised peoples and defended without restriction by all
the UN’s resolutions".
The Parliament expressed its satisfaction about the adoption by the
UN’s General Assembly, last December the 14th, of a new resolution
on the Western Sahara reiterating that the conflict in the
Non-Self-governing territory is a decolonisation one and that the
solution must be conform to the international legality.
The legislative body called on the UN to implement its resolutions
on the conflict and impose the respect of these international
decisions on Morocco and the countries supporting it in its colonial
adventure.
It further denounced the "massive human rights violations" in the
occupied territories of the Western Sahara, the systematic practice
of torture against the Saharawi citizens by the Moroccan authorities
and the Medias "black-out" and military "blockage" imposed on the
territory by Morocco
The Parliament also asked the Spanish Government to reconsider its
current policy regarding the conflict and to favourably answer the
appeals of the Spanish civil society that is clearly supporting the
Saharawi people’s right to self-determination and independence. (SPS)
