Italian magazine ‘Intervento’ has underlined the importance for the European Union to work to achieve a political and realistic solution as sought by the international community to the Moroccan Sahara issue and to abandon its role of "passive spectator" in the wake of the dynamic triggered by the U.S. recognition of Morocco's full sovereignty over the Sahara.

Morocco's ambassador to the United Nations Office in Geneva, Omar Zniber, categorically denied on Thursday the allegations contained in the statement of the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights defenders.

The Arab Lawyers Union has reiterated its full support for the territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Morocco and its rejection of any infringement of Moroccan sovereignty.

The annual session of the United Nations Committee of 24 (C24), held recently in New York, was once again an opportunity for the international community to reaffirm loud and clear its full support for the autonomy initiative in the framework of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Morocco, as a final solution to the question of the Moroccan Sahara, while welcoming the Kingdom’s efforts in favor of the socio-economic development of its southern provinces.

Morocco's Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the United Nations Office in Geneva, Omar Zniber, recalled on Wednesday, during the debates held in the framework of the 47th session of the Human Rights Council, the direct responsibility of Algeria in the persistence of the ordeal endured by the populations of the Tindouf camps, deprived of their most basic rights, and used by the authorities of this country as a business.
