Seville (Spain), Feb 4, 2012 (SPS) - “The exercise by the Saharawi people of their right to freedom, self-determination and independence remains a debt on the international community,” said Friday SADR President, Mr. Mohamed Abdelaziz, in a speech during the opening of the 37th European Coordination Conference of Support to the Sahrawi Saharawi People (EUCOCO) held on current Feb 3-5 in Seville, Spain.
He underlined that the continued delay of this exercise “is not in the interest of the aspired-for world, because justice, law and human rights are indivisible,” warning that the failure to decisively apply these rules and principles or to overlook them “may lead to increased risks and threats to security and peace.”
Secretary General of the Frente Polisario noted “procrastination and obstacles created by the Moroccan Government, with impunity, continue to cast doubt on the feasibility of the peaceful option, and paves the way for uncertainty and tension. This situation requires that the international community take an urgent and strict action. Until when should the world tolerate this blatant injustice and inequality? Why does not it exert all the necessary pressure and sanctions on the aggressor to accept the peaceful, just and democratic solution?”
“We cannot understand why the United Nations has failed, for over twenty years, to implement its decisions regarding a simple and clear-cut case, at a time when we see how the mechanisms of the Security Council and the United Nations in general have been deployed effectively and expeditiously to deal with conflicts taking place long after the Sahrawi conflict,” indicated Mr. Mohamed Abdelaziz.
