Moroccan Initiative for Western Sahara

Moroccan Initiative for Western Sahara

Autonomy for Western Sahara is proposed in a plan by Morocco as a solution to the Western Sahara conflict.

In 2006 the Moroccan Royal Advisory Council for Saharan Affairs (CORCAS) has proposed a plan for the autonomy of Western Sahara and made visits to a number of countries to explain the proposal. The Spanish approach to regional autonomy has been named as a possible model for Western Saharan autonomy, mentioning specifically the cases of the Canary Islands, the Basque Country, Andalusia or Catalonia. The plan was presented to the UN Security Council in April 2007[1] and has received the backing of the USA and France [2]. In a letter to president Bush, 173 members of US congress endorsed the plan.[3]

This initiative constitutes the main ground for the Moroccan proposal at Manhasset negotiations.
