Western Sahara: Washington accused of stalling UN Security Council process

The US administration is facing accusations of being the primary cause of the current deadlock at the UN Security Council regarding the Western Sahara issue. Washington is alleged to have sidelined UN-led compromise efforts to favor Moroccan demands, using its influence as the resolution penholder to block amendments and enforce a one-sided agenda. This bias, notably prevalent during the Trump administration and fueled by pro-Israeli lobbying networks, resulted in unbalanced resolutions that eventually triggered a Russian veto. The strategy appears aimed at reframing the conflict from a decolonization and self-determination issue into a mere humanitarian matter, effectively undermining the MINURSO mission and prioritizing Moroccan territorial claims over international law.
