Speaking before the Human Rights Council, Mohamed Bouzoubaâ highlighted that this solution preserves states' sovereignty and consolidates their integration and unity.
 
    The Moroccan official underlined that the Moroccan approach, which reflects the kingdom’s seriousness, advocates "an equitable and fair solution to the Sahara issue that would put an end to the fake conflict some parties exploit to trigger instability in the region."
 
    Bouzoubaa pointed out that Morocco, keen on the justness of its cause in spite of its neighbors' hostility, puts building a solid, strong, democratic and modern Maghreb Union at the top of its goals.
 
        Morocco is devising a project to grant substantial autonomy to the Southern Provinces, the Sahara, under its sovereignty, to solve the dispute that broke out in 1976 when the Algeria-backed Polisario laid claims to this former Spanish colony, retrieved by Morocco a year earlier before under the Madrid Accord with Mauritania and Spain. The project is due to be submitted to the UN Security Council in April.
