\"UN<\/a><\/p>\n

27 April 2011<\/p>\n

\n

The Security Council today extended for another year the mandate of the United Nations mission tasked with monitoring the ceasefire in Western Sahara and organizing a referendum on self-determination for the people of the territory.<\/p>\n

The UN has been involved in efforts to find a settlement in Western Sahara since 1976, when fighting broke out between Morocco and the Frente Polisario after the Spanish colonial administration of the territory ended.<\/p>\n

Morocco has presented a plan for autonomy while the position of the Frente Polisario is that the territory’s final status should be decided in a referendum on self-determination that includes independence as an option.<\/p>\n

In a unanimously adopted resolution, the Council extended the UN Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara (MINURSO) until 30 April 2012, as recommended by Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in a recent report.<\/p>\n

In doing so, the 15-member body called on the parties “to continue to show political will and work in an atmosphere propitious for dialogue in order to enter into a more intensive and substantive phase of negotiations.”<\/p>\n

It also welcomed the parties’ commitment to continue the process of holding small, informal talks in preparation for a fifth round of UN-backed negotiations, and called on them to continue negotiations “without preconditions and in good faith.”<\/p>\n

When representatives of the parties wrapped up their latest round of talks last month, both sides continued to reject each other’s proposal as a sole basis for future negotiations.<\/p>\n

At the same time, the two sides confirmed their willingness to explore innovative approaches for negotiation and topics for discussion to find a just, lasting and mutually acceptable political solution of the conflict.<\/p>\n

Noting that neither party has taken steps to date that would suggest a readiness to move to an acceptable compromise, Mr. Ban recommended several initiatives in his report to help advance progress in the negotiations.<\/p>\n

Among them is for the parties to find a way to include representatives of a wide cross-section of the population of Western Sahara in the discussion of issues related to final status and the exercise of self-determination.<\/p>\n
