About the Committee

The United Nations Security Council is deliberating on the long-standing conflict in Western Sahara, a disputed territory claimed by both the Sahrawi people, represented by the Polisario Front, and Morocco. With the region experiencing periodic instability and humanitarian concerns, the focus is on reviewing and possibly renewing the mandate of MINURSO, the UN mission tasked with facilitating a referendum for self-determination. The agenda centers on evaluating MINURSO's effectiveness, addressing political deadlocks, and considering changes to ensure lasting peace and autonomy in Western Sahara.
