The European Association of Lawyers for Democracy and World Human Rights has formally petitioned UN Security Council members to reconsider the US draft resolution regarding Western Sahara. Based on its July 2026 investigative report, which highlights severe human rights violations, the association warns that the current draft undermines the right to self-determination by prioritizing an autonomy plan over international law. The group emphasizes the need to preserve the original mandate of the MINURSO mission, centered on the referendum, and recognizes the Polisario Front as the sole legitimate representative of the Sahrawi people. The organization calls for the inclusion of an independent human rights monitoring mechanism and warns that any attempt to legitimize territorial control acquired by force would violate the UN Charter and damage the impartiality of the Security Council.
