Chahid El Hafed, 05/01/2006 (SPS) Polisario Front’s National Secretariat (NS) considered, on Wednesday at Chahid El Hafed, that the UN has got the duty to "protect the Saharawi natural resources and preserve them from the methodical plundering organised by Morocco", calling the European Union to revise "the terms of its fishing accords with Morocco".
In their ordinary session held in January the 4th 2006, the NS estimated, in the final press release culminating its works, that the United Nations "must work to protect the Saharawi natural resources and preserve them from the methodical plundering organised by Morocco", calling companies and the international economic actors "to abstain from any investment participating to the plundering of these resources".
In this respect, the NS recalled that the territory of Western Sahara is "the object of an ongoing decolonisation process", stressing that any exploitation of Western Sahara’s natural resources without the consent of the Saharawi people, "is immoral, opposing to international law and will contribute and perpetuate to the Moroccan colonial occupation", the press release added.
The highest Saharawi political body, also, asked the European Union to proceed to the "revision of the terms" of its fishing accords with Morocco before its enforcement in a way to make it conform to the international law and legality, adding that it should be limited "exclusively to the Moroccan waters".
The NS expressed its satisfaction with the increase of the solidarity with the Saharawi people, asking the international community to answer the calls of the international organisms asking for the increase of the aid dedicated to the Saharawi refugees, and to protect the Saharawi population under occupation as well as the Saharawi cultural heritage.
