On Western Sahara, the EU’s position is to strongly support the efforts made by the United Nations (UN) to continue the political process aiming to reach a just, realistic, pragmatic, lasting and mutually acceptable political solution, based on compromise and in accordance with the UN Security Council resolutions.
The EU is vocal on the importance it gives to the upholding of human rights within its own borders and across the world. Questions regarding human rights are addressed in the framework foreseen under the EU-Kingdom of Morocco Association Agreement[1] and other regular exchanges with the Moroccan authorities. In addition, the EU conducts a regular dialogue with civil society and non-governmental organisations that closely monitor human rights issues.
Finally, given Morocco’s membership in the United Nations Human Rights Council for the 2023-2025 period, the EU expects additional opportunities to engage with the country on the respect and protection of human rights.
