The Fourth UN Committee, which was recently held in New York City, was marked by a number of interventions that have supported Morocco's position on the Sahara issue.

The Fourth Committee of the UN General Assembly adopted Wednesday without a vote a resolution reiterating support for the UN-led political process aimed at settling the Moroccan Sahara issue and called upon the countries in the region to cooperate fully with the Secretary General and his Personal Envoy, and with each other, in order to reach a political settlement to this regional dispute.

Burundi called Monday on the parties concerned to favor a political solution based on realism and spirit of compromise to resolve the conflict in the Sahara, and thus contribute to stability and security in the Sahel.

Sierra Leone said on Tuesday before the 4th Committee of the UN General Assembly that it "fully supports" Morocco's autonomy initiative in the Sahara, which is "in line with international standards for the delegation of authority to local populations".

Venezuela affirmed, on Monday in New York, its support for the negotiation process under the auspices of the United Nations, in order to reach a "negotiated" solution to the artificial conflict around the Moroccan Sahara.
