R8: Western Sahara: the last barrier of European colonialism
Title
Resolution text
In May 2015 “On Freedom for Western Sahara” resolution was adopted by the
European Green Party during its 22nd Council. Five years after the approval of
this resolution, we not only have to regret that the vast majority of their
demands have not yet been realized, but we can admit the collapse of the
ceasefire in the area.
Sahrawi people have been carrying a tragedy since 1975, year in which the
Kingdom of Morocco occupied its territories. Multiple UN resolutions recognize
the right of the Sahrawi people to decide their future freely and to seek a
peaceful solution that involves its free exercise to culminate the unfinished
process of decolonization by the Spanish authorities.
Since the time of the occupation, regular illegal detentions by the authorities
of Morocco to Sahrawi activists and human rights defenders are a common
practice. In this context, at the beginning of last November, the Moroccan army
violently repressed a peaceful demonstration of Saharawi activists who were
blocking the illegal passage of Guerguerat, to later enter the territory
controlled by the Polisario Front.
Thus, with this interference by the Moroccan army, the ceasefire established in
1991 has been broken. Fact which must be considered a flagrant breach of the
agreement between Polisario Front and the Kingdom of Morocco, and constitutes a
direct attack against the Sahrawi people.
For these reasons, the European Green Party calls urgently to the European Union
and its member countries to:
- Reaffirm the solidarity and support of the European Green Party with the
Sahrawi people, in their just struggle for their legitimate rights.
- Reiterate that the problem of Western Sahara is an unfinished process of
Spanish decolonization that must be resolved in accordance with
international law.
