United Nations, June 29, 2011 (SPS) - The UN secretary general, Ban Ki-Moon said Tuesday that he expects "progress" in negotiations between Polisario Front and Morocco held on July, particularly in the human rights field.
"We had seven rounds of informal negotiations to resolve the conflict. This year we have three, which is encouraging, but the positions of both parties are opposed, it is an element of frustration, " Ban said in an interview with EFE.
The diplomat and former Foreign Minister of South Korea also said that he hoped "the next round (informal talks) in July, the parties will make progress, particularly with regard to human rights."
"Our priority is the issue. It is an old problem that must be resolved, "said the head of the UN, adding:" I will do everything in my power, in that sense. "
With the next meetings, the UN seeks a political solution to the conflict in Western Sahara that is "just, lasting and mutually acceptable, provides the right to self-determination for the Saharawi people" said Ross on June.(SPS)
