The Security Council "decides to extend the mandate of MINURSO until October 31, 2025," says resolution 2756, submitted by the U.S penholder.

In this new resolution, the UN executive body reaffirmed its support for the Moroccan autonomy initiative, presented by the Kingdom in 2007, as a serious and credible basis with a view to settling the artificial conflict over the Moroccan Sahara, in accordance with the resolutions of the Security Council.

The Council also reiterated its support for the efforts of the UN Secretary-General and his Personal Envoy for the Moroccan Sahara to advance the political process with a view to achieving a realistic, pragmatic and lasting solution based on compromise.

The UN executive body also welcomed the measures and initiatives undertaken by Morocco, the role played by the commissions of the National Human Rights Council in the cities of Dakhla and Laayoune and the interaction between the Kingdom and the mechanisms under the special procedures of the United Nations Human Rights Council.

In its new resolution adopted by 12 votes in favour, two abstentions and one against of a non-permanent member, namely Algeria, the UN Security Council "strongly" reiterated its request regarding the "registration" of the populations sequestrated in the Tindouf camps in southwestern Algeria.

At the beginning of this session, Algeria, the main party in the regional dispute over the Moroccan Sahara, suffered a new bitter setback, when the two amendments that it tried to introduce to the draft resolution were rejected by the Security Council members.
