“The Advanced Autonomy Initiative proposed by Morocco remains, for my delegation, the appropriate framework in accordance with international law, the Charter of the United Nations and the resolutions of the Security Council and the General Assembly.“, Said the representative of Senegal at the C24 meeting, which holds its annual session in New York from June 14 to 25.
The Senegalese diplomat added that the autonomy initiative also takes into account the issue of the sequestered populations in the Tindouf camps, in application of international humanitarian law as recognized in the relevant resolutions of the Security Council.
He also noted that the advances made by Morocco on the ground, in particular in terms of the promotion of human rights and democracy as well as “the considerable efforts made to promote the economic and social development of the Moroccan Sahara, while ensuring the empowerment of its inhabitants, have finished demonstrating its desire to peacefully resolve this dispute“.
