Algiers, November 4, 2013 (SPS) - President of the Algerian National Consultative Commission for the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights (CNCPPDH) Farouk Ksentini said Sunday in Algiers that the violation of the Consulate General of Algeria in Casablanca (Morocco), was an "additional evidence of non-respect of international laws and custom by Rabat."
Violation of Algerian consulate in Casablanca is "evidence to be added to the Moroccan registry of non-respect of international law after it has long demonstrated its non-compliance with international human rights through gross violations of Sahrawi people rights as evidenced by international institutions of human right defense, Ksentini told APS.
He noted in this regard that the Moroccan campaign against Algeria since Abuja summit "aimed at undermining the efforts to settle the Western Sahara issue in line with UN principles and resolutions while the decision makers in Morocco were trying to lead Algeria in the conflict in which the parties are well established, namely the Kingdom of Morocco and the Polisario Front."
On the other hand, Ksentini said that the Moroccan campaign against Algeria is "an attempt to muddy the waters in the efforts to find a fair solution to the Western Sahara issue based on UN decisions, as it occurs, he said, after the tour of the UN special envoy to the region and the international claim to protect human rights in the Saharawi territories, including Washington's request to assign the case to MINURSO.
