For twenty years, the resolution on Western Sahara was adopted by consensus, but a recent requirement for a formal vote has disrupted the Moroccan delegation's comfort zone. Official state media reports in Morocco have presented the text as an endorsement of their "autonomy" plan and a recognition of "four parties," claims that contradict the actual wording of the UN document. The resolution focuses on decolonization and the right to self-determination, clearly distinguishing between parties involved in negotiations and neighboring states. By altering key terms—replacing "justice and self-determination" with "realism and pragmatism"—the state media has attempted to reshape the narrative. While the US voted against the resolution, Morocco found itself caught between following its main ally and avoiding diplomatic isolation among the 152 delegations that supported the text. Ultimately, the official interpretation seeks to obscure the resolution's references to international humanitarian law and the UN's core responsibility regarding the territory's status.
