Shaheed El Hafed, November 12, 2026 (SPS) – The Spanish capital, Madrid, will host the 50th edition of the International Conference of the European Coordination of Support and Solidarity with the Sahrawi People (EUCOCO) on November 13–14, 2026, with the participation of political, human rights and solidarity delegations from around the world.
The conference takes place amid significant developments in the Western Sahara issue, particularly the failure of the US draft resolution to pass in the UN Security Council following Russia's veto, as well as renewed international calls for respect for the Sahrawi people's right to self-determination and independence.
The event also coincides with the 50th anniversary of the 1975 Madrid Accords, which paved the way for the partition of Western Sahara. The occasion is expected to renew calls for Spain to assume its historical and legal responsibilities towards the Sahrawi people.
Delegations from Algeria and several European countries are expected to attend, reaffirming their solidarity with the Sahrawi people and their inalienable right to self-determination and independence, while highlighting the international community's responsibility to implement relevant UN resolutions.
