On Monday, the Peruvian Congress called upon the Foreign Ministry to support Morocco’s autonomy initiative for the Sahara, recognizing it as the only viable solution for the long-standing dispute. In a motion that received overwhelming favor, Congress urged the Ministry to encourage the international community to adopt this initiative and advocate for dialogue and cooperation essential for a definitive resolution.
The Congress emphasized that the dispute hinders the much-anticipated development and integration of the peoples in the Maghreb region. They stated the necessity for all parties to engage sincerely in the round-table negotiations under the auspices of the United Nations, highlighting mutual respect and commitment as fundamental for achieving a durable political resolution.
The motion was put forward by deputies María del Carmen Alva Prieto and Ernesto Bustamante Donayre. They referenced the Moroccan autonomy initiative as the only credible basis acknowledged by the international community for a fair resolution to the decades-long conflict.
Peruvian lawmakers affirmed that the Moroccan initiative enhances regional stability and seeks to protect the rights and freedoms of the local populace while honoring Morocco’s sovereignty. They noted that over 120 countries, including major players like the United States, Spain, and France, have publicly endorsed this proposal for peace in North Africa.
The motion also highlighted increased international support for Morocco’s claim to the Sahara, asserting that a just solution must center on the Moroccan autonomy plan within the framework of Morocco’s national sovereignty. It referenced UN Security Council Resolution 2756 from October 30, 2024, which acknowledged Morocco’s efforts in resolving the Sahara issue.
In conclusion, the motion asserts that “Peru, as a country committed to respecting the territorial integrity and sovereignty of states, has a duty to support the Autonomy Initiative presented by Morocco.”
The Peruvian Congress has officially declared its support for Morocco’s autonomy initiative for the Sahara, viewing it as the only credible resolution to the ongoing dispute. By encouraging dialogue and cooperation, the Congress is promoting a collaborative approach to resolve the matter.
