Take Action: Support self-determination for the people of Western Sahara

Tens of thousands of Saharawi people are living in a state of siege and face appalling human rights abuses and repression. Today 165,000 refugees live on an inhospitable plain in the Sahara desert, struggling to
return to a homeland where they can determine their own future.

Dear David Miliband

Morocco has occupied Western Sahara for over 30 years. Tens of thousands of Saharawi people are living in a state of siege and face appalling human rights abuses and repression.

Today 165,000 refugees live on an inhospitable plain in the Sahara desert, struggling to return to a homeland where they can determine their own future. Despite the International Court of Justice ruling that the Saharawi people have a right to self-determination, Morocco refuses to agree to a referendum plan.

I support War on Want’s campaign for self-determination for the people of Western Sahara. I urge the UK government to:

* press the Moroccan government to accept international law and repeated UN Security Council resolutions enabling the Saharawi people to vote on the independence of Western Sahara;

* press the Moroccan government to respect human rights in the occupied territories of Western Sahara;

* provide a clear and positive lead in the UN Security Council in support of the right of the Saharawi people to self-determination;

* stop all arms sales to Morocco, until there is a sustainable peace agreement for Western Sahara.

Yours sincerely,
