French Communist Party criticizes UN Security Council stalemate over Western Sahara

The French Communist Party (PCF) has expressed deep concern regarding the diplomatic deadlock at the UN Security Council over the renewal of the MINURSO mandate. In a statement released on October 31, the party highlighted how Russian and American vetoes have jeopardized the future of the mission. The PCF argued that the Sahrawi people's right to self-determination should not be compromised by great power politics. The party also criticized France's support for the American proposal, noting it deviates from international law. Emphasizing the need to preserve the UN mission for regional stability, the PCF urged the United Nations to urgently initiate a credible political process that respects the Sahrawi people's right to decide their own future.
