  • Report on the Kingdom of Morocco's Violations Of
    REPORT ON THE KINGDOM OF MOROCCO’S VIOLATIONS OF ARTICLE 1 OF THE INTERNATIONAL COVENANT ON ECONOMIC, SOCIAL AND CULTURAL RIGHTS IN THE PARTS OF WESTERN SAHARA UNDER MOROCCAN OCCUPATION On the occasion of Morocco’s fourth periodic report on the implementation of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights To the attention of the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights Submitted by Western Sahara Resource Watch to the Committee on 18 August 2015 Contact: Sara Eyckmans, International Coordinator, Western Sahara Resource Watch, [email protected] www.wsrw.org 1 Executive Summary 2015 marks forty years since the invasion and occupation of what has come to be regarded as Africa’s last colony, Western Sahara. A significant number of well-established human rights obligations apply in the three quarters of the territory that is under Moroccan occupation. International law contains clear prescriptions for the protection, political independence and advancement of the Saharawi people, who were the original inhabitants of Western Sahara, then Spanish Sahara, until they were abandoned by Spain in 1975. Foremost is the right of self-determination of non-self-governing peoples. The norms prescribed by the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights have been consistently violated in occupied Western Sahara. This submission for the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights has been prepared by Western Sahara Resource Watch, an international non-governmental organization, based in Brussels. It is intended to highlight the significant failure of Morocco as the occupying power or State with responsibility for the territory of Western Sahara and the Saharawi people to ensure even the most basic compliance with the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights.

  • Morocco's Sovereignty Over Natural Resources in Saharan Provinces
    POLICY PAPER January 2020 Morocco’s Sovereignty over Natural Resources in Saharan provinces - Taking Cherry Blossom Case as an Example - Shoji Matsumoto PP-20/01 About Policy Center for the New South The Policy Center for the New South (PCNS) is a Moroccan think tank aiming to contribute to the improvement of economic and social public policies that challenge Morocco and the rest of the Africa as integral parts of the global South. The PCNS pleads for an open, accountable and enterprising «new South» that defines its own narratives and mental maps around the Mediterranean and South Atlantic basins, as part of a forward-looking relationship with the rest of the world. Through its analytical endeavours, the think tank aims to support the development of public policies in Africa and to give the floor to experts from the South. This stance is focused on dialogue and partnership, and aims to cultivate African expertise and excellence needed for the accurate analysis of African and global challenges and the suggestion of appropriate solutions. As such, the PCNS brings together researchers, publishes their work and capitalizes on a network of renowned partners, representative of different regions of the world. The PCNS hosts a series of gatherings of different formats and scales throughout the year, the most important being the annual international conferences «The Atlantic Dialogues» and «African Peace and Security Annual Conference» (APSACO). Finally, the think tank is developing a community of young leaders through the Atlantic Dialogues Emerging Leaders program (ADEL) a space for cooperation and networking between a new generation of decision-makers and entrepreneurs from the government, business and social sectors.

Morocco floods of 2014: what we can learn from Guelmim and Sidi Ifni Foreword There is a saying that more people drown in the desert than die of thirst. Inhabitants of the arid regions of Morocco know this all too well. Morocco has experienced no fewer than 35 floods over the years from 1951 to 2015. Flash floods can fill dry stream beds, ‘oueds’ or ‘wadis,’ very rapidly, often taking a heavy toll in terms of human life. Floods also wreak havoc on property and destroy infrastructure, leaving a legacy of misery for those living in affected regions. Floods are nothing new for Morocco, increasing communities’ resilience. It is where traditionally floodwaters were not always easy to learn from events, welcomed as a source of essential but it is a key element that can be irrigation for crops. But in recent achieved through the right processes. years, rapid population growth and Dirk de Nil, The findings presented here build on CEO Zurich Morocco urbanization have put more people and similar research in other countries, vital infrastructure at risk.

  • Western Sahara: Status of Settlement Efforts
    Order Code RS20962 Updated September 29, 2006 CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web Western Sahara: Status of Settlement Efforts Carol Migdalovitz Specialist in Middle Eastern Affairs Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Summary Since the 1970s, Morocco and the independence-seeking Popular Front for the Liberation of Saqiat al Hamra and Rio de Oro (Polisario) have vied for control of the Western Sahara, a former Spanish territory. In 1991, the United Nations arranged a cease-fire and proposed a settlement plan that called for a referendum to allow the people of the Western Sahara to choose between independence and integration into Morocco. A long deadlock on determining the electorate for a referendum ensued. Since 2001, the U.N. has unsuccessfully suggested alternatives to the unfulfilled settlement plan, particularly one formulated by James Baker. Latterly, the U.N. has called on the parties to negotiate. An end to the impasse is not in sight, and it has affected Algerian-Moroccan bilateral relations and wider regional cooperation. The United States supports U.N. efforts and a solution that would not destabilize its ally, Morocco. Congress supports a referendum and is frustrated by delays. This report will be updated if developments warrant. See also CRS Report RS21579, Morocco: Current Issues, and CRS Report RS21532, Algeria: Current Issues. History The territory now known as the Western Sahara became a Spanish possession in 1881. In the mid-1970s, Spain prepared to decolonize the region, intending to transform it into a closely aligned independent state after a referendum on self-determination. Morocco and Mauritania opposed Spain’s plan and each claimed the territory.

  • Morocco: Current Issues
    Morocco: Current Issues Alexis Arieff Analyst in African Affairs June 20, 2012 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RS21579 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Morocco: Current Issues Summary King Mohammed VI retains supreme political power in Morocco, but has taken some liberalizing steps with uncertain effects. In 2011, following popular demonstrations that echoed unrest elsewhere in the region, the king proposed a new constitution that may provide greater independence to the Prime Minister, the legislature, and the judiciary. It was overwhelmingly approved in a public referendum. The moderate Islamist Justice and Development Party (PJD) is leading the government for the first time after winning a plurality of seats in November 2011 legislative elections. While the party has been legally recognized for two decades, its leaders continue to grapple with their transition from outsider opposition status to the day-to-day responsibilities of running the government amid an economic downturn and responding to vast and divided expectations. The PJD’s campaign promises to crack down on corruption and cronyism may also place it on a collision course with pro-palace elites. Protests have dwindled since their apogee in early 2011, but sporadic demonstrations continue over economic grievances, and some activists continue to call for deeper changes to the political system. The U.S. government views Morocco as an important ally against terrorism and as a free trade partner. Congress appropriates foreign assistance funding for Morocco for counterterrorism and socioeconomic development, including in support of a five-year, $697.5 million Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) compact agreed to in 2007.

  • The Western Sahara Conflict I
    Scientia Militaria, South African Journal of Military Studies, Vol 29, 1999. http://scientiamilitaria.journals.ac.za The Western Sahara conflict I DR. MARTIN PABST Politica; Analyst. Munich The history of the Western Sahara has seen many developments familiar to Africa: • the drawing of artificial boundaries in foreign European capitals at the tum of the century, • clandestine agreements between colonial and regional powers without proper consultation with the territory's population, • the sudden and irresponsible exit of the colonial power, Spain, which provoked the outbreak of hostilities between the contending parties (Morocco, Mauritania, the Liberation Movement Frente Polisario) at a time when the last Spanish officials and soldiers had not yet left the territory. This conflict in a remote part of the Sahara desert has been long and painful.2 As early as 1957/58, West Saharan and Moroccan irregulars attacked the colonial troops in the territory which was then a Spanish colony. On 20 March 1973 the liberation movement "Frente Popular para la Liberaci6n de Seguia el-Hamra y Rio de Oro" (Frente Polisario) started a guerrilla war - first against the Spanish administration, then against Morocco and Mauritania. The latter two countries had partitioned and annexed the territory following their clandestine "Madrid Pact" with the outgoing colonial power Spain (14th Nov. 1975). They claimed historic links between their countries and the people in the Western Sahara. The Advisory Opinion of the International Court of Justice confrrrned certain links with Morocco and Mauritania, but did not support annexation: It stressed the right of self-determination of the inhabitants. This paper was presented on 22 Sep 1998, during the International Peace and Security Conference hosted by the Faculty of Military Science, University of Stellenbosch (Military Academy), in commemoration of 50 years of United Nations peacekeeping, 1948-1998.

It is a contribution by civil society groups to the nation-wide project of implementing advancedregionalization, and it can potentially contribute to the success of the autonomy plan for the provinces concerned by the UN process tabled by the Kingdom in 2007. At the heart of this model are the respect for and promotion of basic human rightsin the broadest sense,including economic, social, cultural and environmental rights. Through the development of guidelines for an integrated, sustainable development project based on the genuine participation of citizens in the management of their own local affairs, the aim of the Council is to contribute to the collective effort required to rise to the challenge of achieving social cohesion, prosperity and equitable benefit from the resources of the Southern Provinces. ESEC members - experts, trade union and professional associations’ representatives, civil society groups and ex-officio members -agreed that a key objective should be the diversification oflocal businesses and economic actors. Special efforts should be made to encourage private initiative and the social economy, making sure such endeavor tallies with the State’s new economic role.
