Speaking at the Annual meeting of the United Nations Committee of 24 (C-24), Jordan representative, Ahmad Samir Habashneh stressed that the Autonomy plan takes into account the specificities of the region, the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Morocco over its territories, as well as its territorial integrity, in line with the UN Charter.
