Chahid El Hafed, 21/06/2015 (SPS) .- The Western Sahara is a victim of an imperfect international order, an international law easy to violate and a realpolitik which sabotage the rules, wrote Leelo Hoy newspaper last Friday.
The uruguayan newspaper recalls that " Western Sahara is, actually, one of the 17 territories not autonomous under supervision of the UN Decolonization Committee, was registered in this list in 1960 while it still a Spanish colony". Immediately afterward, it noted that "55 years after, it still in the same list, this time as a colony of Morocco". "It is victim of an imperfect international order, an international law easy to violate and a realpolitik which sabotage the rules", newspaper concludes.
After recalling that Morocco invaded Western Sahara in 1975, the same source says: "Actually, Morocco occupies two thirds of the territory, and their flags flutter in the most important coastal cities; it exploits and commercializes illegally its natural resources, ignoring the numerous UN resolutions, which made clear that it is a territory waiting for decolonization ".
The article emphasizes that the SADR "is a member state of the African Union and recognized by over 80 countries – including Uruguay- mainly from Africa and Latin America; has a large support network in Europe, as much at institutions level as in terms of peoples.- Even so, Sahara is stil a colony and Morocco continues to violate international law ".
