The discussions tackled the efforts of the United Nations aimed to decolonise Western Sahara and the process of negotiations between the two parties to the conflict, POLISARIO Front and Morocco, with a view to implement the UN Security Council’s resolutions.
The Saharawi President, who affirmed the attachment and engagement of POLISARIO to continue the negotiations under the auspices of the UN Secretary General and his Personal Envoy, regretted the attitude of Morocco that continue to put obstacles in front of this process and that uses all kinds of delaying tactics to postpone the official announcement of the name of the new Personal Envoy.
Mr. Abdelaziz also recalled POLISARIO Front’s attachment to the international legality and underlined that the "respect of the Saharawi people’s inalienable right to self-determination and independence is the only solution to the conflict".
President Mohamed Abdelaziz drew the attention of his interlocutor to the daily violations of the human rights committed by the Moroccan authorities in the occupied territories of Western Sahara and in the south of Morocco.
In this respect, the Head of the Saharawi State stressed the need to enlarge the mandate of the UN’s Mission on the ground, MINURSO, to include the protection and monitoring of human rights, in addition to the need to publish the report of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, elaborated since 2006 by a mission from the commissioner that visited the occupied zones of Western Sahara and the refugee camps.
On his side, Mr. Ban Ki-moon affirmed to President Abdelaziz his determination to continue with his efforts for a prompt resuming of the process of negotiations under the auspices of his new Personal Envoy.
He thanked POLISARIO Front, in this regard, for its cooperation as well as its help and assistance to the MINURSO.
The meeting was also attended, from the Saharawi side, by Mr. Mhamed Khadad, Saharawi Coordinator with the MINURSO, Mr. Boukhari Ahmed and Mr. Moulud Said respectively POLISARIO Front’s representatives in New York and in Washington.
