This book analyses recent developments concerning the application of the international legal doctrines of recognition and self-determination in relation to the Western Sahara Question. It investigates the emergent shift in favour of Morocco’s sovereignty claim to Western Sahara as apparent from the positions adopted by an increasing number of third States in the United Nations and the recent spate of third States establishing consulates in Western Sahara, with Morocco’s encouragement. It reflects on what the functioning of the doctrines of recognition and self-determination in this situation reveals about contemporary international law in practice more generally. The work will be of interest to scholars, researchers, and postgraduate students as well as practitioners of public international law who have a particular interest in decolonisation, self-determination disputes, and/or conflicts about natural resource entitlements. It will also appeal to readers with an interest in the work of International Organisations, including the United Nations, the European Union, and the African Union, and to specialists in international relations and regional politics.

This paper aims to investigate the story of a country that was colonized by Spain, abandoned by Madrid, and subsequently claimed by Morocco. Spanish Sahara, now known as Western Sahara, is the territory in question. When Spanish Sahara was left by Spain to fend for itself in 1975, King Hassan of Morocco claimed sovereignty over it. King Hassan saw a potential "Greater Morocco", which, in his view, encompassed Morocco-proper and the former Spanish Sahara. Since becoming recognized as a non-self-governing territory, most of Western Sahara has been occupied by Morocco and much of its native population resides in Tindouf refugee camps. These camps, in neighboring Algeria, are home to an organized government body, the Saharawi Arab Democratic Republic, alongside the Polisario Front which has militarily resisted Moroccan occupation. Despite various attempts by the U.N. to hold a referendum on the independence of Western Sahara, such a vote has never happened. Disputes over qualified voters have completely halted the process, an especially convoluted point since the Green March in 1975, in which the Moroccan government enabled hundreds of thousands of Moroccans to march into Western Saharan territory. Morocco now controls some 80 percent of the territory behind a large wall barrier constructed by Moroccan forces and reinforced by American mine technology. Ban Ki-moon, the UN Secretary General, has called Moroccan presence in Western Sahara an occupation. This raises three questions: how has Moroccan diplomacy frustrated Saharawi independence, what options are still feasible as a solution, and how should the U.S. respond to the recent developments in this longstanding conflict?

Peoples and minorities in many parts of the world assert a right to self-determination, autonomy, and even secession from a state, which naturally conflicts with that state's sovereignty and territorial integrity. The right of a people to self-determination and secession has existed as a concept within international law since the American Declaration of Independence in 1776, but the exact definition of these concepts, and the conditions required for their application, remain unclear. The Advisory Opinion of the International Court of Justice concerning the Declaration of Independency of Kosovo (2010), which held that the Kosovo declaration of independence was not in violation of international law, has only led to further questions. This book takes four conflicts in the post-Soviet Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) as a starting point for examining the current state of the law of self-determination and secession. Four entities, Transnistria (Moldova), South Ossetia, Abkhazia (both Georgia), and Nagorno-Karabakh (Azerbaijan), claim to be entitled not only to self-determination but also to secession from their mother state. For this entitlement they rely on historic affiliations, and on charges of discrimination and massive human rights violations committed by their mother state. This book sets out its analysis of these critical issue in three parts, providing a detailed understanding of the principles of international law on which they rely: The first part sets out the contours and meaning of self-determination and secession, including an overall assessment of secession within the Commonwealth of Independent States. The second section provides case studies investigating the events in Transnistria, South Ossetia, Abkhazia, and Nagorno-Karabach in greater detail. The third and final section extends the scope of the examination, providing a comparative analysis of similar conflicts involving questions of self-determination and secession in Kosovo, Western Sahara, and Eritrea.

"Western Sahara has for centuries played a crucial role in the national history of Morocco. However, since the end of the 19th century, when Spain established its colonial domination on the territory, it has become a troubled region. In the sixties, Spain was on the verge of returning Western Sahara to Morocco, but changed its mind after the discovery of phosphates. Since then the United Nations has worked tirelessly to bring the unrest in Western Sahara to an end by promoting the implementation of the so-called "self-determination/ independence solution", but this has proved inappropriate. Recently, prospects for a fair and realistic solution have emerged in the form of granting autonomy to the territory under Moroccan sovereignity. This fresh solution, based on democratic self-determination, mirrors that of territorial autonomy regimes successfully implemented in advanced democratic states, including Greenland and the Faroe Islands (under the sovereignity of Denmark), the Aland Islands (Finland) and California (Spain)."--Jacket.

Master's Thesis from the year 2023 in the subject Politics - Topic: International relations, grade: A, American Public University System (School of Security and Globan Studies), language: English, abstract: In spite of the considerable amount of research that has been conducted on the question of Western Sahara, misconceptions about this protracted conflict still abound. Using a constructivist approach, this qualitative study addresses crucial themes that have been overlooked in previous literature. It provides insights into the academic and political marginalization of the Sahrawi people in the Algerian Sahara and beyond, particularly in relation to their exclusion from the self-determination discourse. By advocating for the international community to recognize the Moroccanness of Western Sahara, this study emphasizes the significance of the historical and present ties between the Sahrawi people and Morocco. It examines the humanitarian conditions in the Polisario Front camps, raises questions of accountability, and evaluates the feasibility of the Moroccan autonomy plan. Furthermore, it highlights the potential risks associated with the creation of a failed Polisario state.

As the Spanish were preparing to leave colonized Western Sahara in 1975, Morocco invaded, sparking a war with the Western Saharan Polisario Front. About 70% of Western Sahara was occupied by Morocco, which stations up to 140,000 soldiers in the territory, primarily along a 1700 kilometre long sand berm that is protected by one of the world’s largest fields of landmines. In 1991, Morocco and the Polisario Front agreed to a truce ahead of a referendum on Western Sahara’s future. However, Morocco has since refused to allow the referendum to take place, and has begun the extensive exploitation of Western Sahara’s non-renewable natural resources. This has both highlighted the plight of the Saharawi people who live in refugee camps in Algeria and in occupied Western Sahara, and pushed the Polisario Front back to a position where it is openly canvassing for a return to war. This book was originally published as a special issue of Global Change, Peace and Security.
