The adoption of this resolution comes in a context marked by the significant breakthroughs achieved, under the leadership of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, may God assist Him, in this issue in recent years.

The growing international support of important and influential countries to the Moroccan autonomy initiative, the opening in Laayoune and Dakhla of more than thirty Consulates General, the non-recognition of more than 84% of UN member states of the puppet entity, as well as the economic and social development in the southern provinces, are all illustrations of this highly positive dynamic.

Today, the new resolution, while enshrining the previous achievements of Morocco, is a resolution of confirmation and evolution.

It is a confirmation resolution that reaffirms the framework of the political process, its actors and its purpose.

• It is, first, a confirmation of the framework of the political process, since the Security Council considered (in the preambular paragraph No. 4 of the resolution) that the format of « round tables » is the only framework for discussion to achieve a final solution to the regional dispute over the Moroccan Sahara. The resolution also mandated (in its operative paragraph No. 3) the Personal Envoy of the UN Secretary-General to « facilitate » the political process by « building on … the framework established by the former Personal Envoy », namely the two « round tables » held in Geneva in December 2018 and March 2019 respectively.
• It is then a confirmation of the actors of the political process, which assume a legal, political and moral responsibility in the search for the solution. Thus, the resolution called on again (in its operative paragraph No. 3) « Morocco, Algeria, Mauritania and ‘’polisario’’ to remain committed to this process throughout its duration, in a spirit of realism and compromise, in order to make it succeed. It is noted that the resolution systematically cites Algeria whenever there is a reference to Morocco.
• The resolution is a confirmation of the finality of the political process, since the resolution reiterated (in its operative paragraph No. 2) that the political solution should be « realistic, pragmatic, sustainable and based on compromise », which can only be the Moroccan Autonomy Initiative, whose pre-eminence was again reaffirmed by the Security Council.
