Western Sahara

EDM number 214 in 2001-02, proposed by Jeremy Corbyn on 14/09/2001.

That this House believes that the people of the Western Sahara are entitled to their self-determination and regrets that since Moroccan occupation in 1974 may Saharawies have been forced to live in refugee camps in Algeria; deeply regrets that despite UN decisions and the establishment of MINURSO no referendum has yet been held; and calls upon Her Majesty's Government to press the UN and Morocco to ensure that a genuine choice is shortly placed before the Saharawi people, including the option of the independence.

This motion has been signed by a total of 51 MPs.
