In this context, the UN SG said he was “convinced” that a political solution to the Moroccan Sahara issue is possible, adding that the UN remains willing to convene all parties concerned by the Moroccan Sahara issue in order to achieve a “political solution” in accordance with Security Council resolutions since 2018.
The top UN official called on all concerned parties to urgently seize the opportunity offered by the efforts of the Personal Envoy, Staffan de Mistura, noting that strong political will is needed to find a just, lasting and mutually acceptable political solution in accordance with resolutions 2440 (2018), 2468 (2019), 2494 (2019), 2548 (2020) and 2602 (2021).
Guterres also urged all parties concerned to approach the political process, in this case the roundtables established by the Security Council resolutions since 2018, with an open mind and to waive preconditions for the political process.
