Tifariti
(liberated territories), 28/02/2007 (SPS) The International
Conference of solidarity with the Saharawi people closed its works
Tuesday in Tifariti with the adoption of a work programme, letters
to the Security Council and the Security Council and the European
Union in addition to the Declaration of Tifariti.
The participants to the conference, enhanced by the presence of the
President of the Republic, Mohamed Abdelaziz, declared they were
convinced that the referendum continues to be the "only peaceful,
legal land unanimously supported way" for the international
community to reach "a just and definitive solution" to the conflict
of the Western Sahara.
In a public statement issued at the end of the works of this
conference, the participants indicated that they deeply studied to
actual situation of the process of peace in the Western Sahara and
noted that the explicit objective of this process is to enable the
Saharawi people to exercise its inalienable right to
self-determination through a self-determination organised and
supervised by the UN.
This Plan, which reaffirms the content of all the resolutions
adopted by the General Assembly of the UN, recognises that the
Saharawi question is a decolonisation problem that can not be
resolved without the implementation of the international legality.
In this respect, the United Nations had recognised and continues to
recognise that Morocco maintains an illegal occupation of a
territory that does not belong to it and over which it can not
exercise any kind of sovereignty.
The Conference condemns the policies of the occupation and
oppression imposed by Morocco on the Western Sahara, as well as its
strategy aiming to fail the efforts of the international community.
Underlining that the definitive status of the Saharawi territory is
the exclusive prerogative of its people, the participants to the
conference noted that the Moroccan unilateral project of a
“so-called autonomy" aims to
"Exclude the international legality applicable to a decolonisation
question".
In this respect they expressed their surprise in the face of the
position of France that qualified the so-called project as
"constructive", while it constitutes a flagrant violation to the
international law, estimating that this country (France) "will gain
credibility if it uses its politic and diplomatic influence to get
from Morocco a cooperation with the UN that will help in
concretising the self-determination referendum".
Recalling to Spain its political, historical, juridical and ethical
responsibility towards the Saharawi people, the conference asked the
Spanish Government to review its current position so as to play the
role it should play as the occupying force and ex-administrating
power of the Western Sahara and thus contribute to a just and
definitive solution to the conflict. (SPS)
