RECOMMENDATIONS
► Concerning the status of Western Sahara
1) The international community and the UN should have the courage and the
lucidity to recognize that the independence solution is not viable and is, in any case, impossible, given the ferocious opposition of one of the parties. They should therefore impel the parties involved to take the path of a negotiated political solution, possibly supervised by the international community.
2) Algeria should refrain from interfering in a problem that concerns Morocco
and the Saharawi population, and in which it is not a stakeholder
3) The States that have recognized the SADR should realize that this entity, with no real existence or future, is more of an obstacle to any political solution than a genuine emerging State.
4) The United States should use its regional influence to support a negotiated
solution and to give to each party - including, if necessary, Algeria –
guarantees that their fundamental interests would be respected.
