The ambassador permanent representative of Morocco in Geneva, Omar Zniber, denounced the relentlessness and tendentious maneuvers of Algeria on the subject of the Moroccan Sahara, on the occasion of the 51st Session of the Human Rights Council (HRC ).
In a statement by the Kingdom, before the HRC, Mr. Zniber deplored the determination of the representative of the Algerian regime to want to exploit and exploit the work of the Council, in an unproductive and sterile way, to raise a subject, in this case the territorial integrity of Morocco, without any respect for the agenda of the work of the Council, and consequently, for the serenity of the debates.
The Algerian representative mandates an isolated group to give the impression of any echo to the thesis of his regime, null and void, and having no connection with reality, indicated the ambassador.
If the Algerian delegation was indeed attached to the respect of human rights, it should wonder regarding the multifaceted and numerous arrests to which the Algerian power is subject, because of the massive violations which occur in the country, of which opponents, magistrates, journalists, representatives of civil society, and more generally the whole of Algerian society, subject to an authoritarianism of a military nature and without limits, he pointed out.
Mr. Zniber added that the Algerian delegate should also wonder regarding the violations, sometimes without equivalent, which occur in the countries which sign with him the declaration hostile to Morocco, once once more, making false accusations.
The Ambassador drew the attention of Council members to the fact that most often the contribution of Algerian delegates to the work of the Council is almost exclusively limited to attempts to attack Morocco, which continue to fail, the Council having fully realized the tendentious and self-serving nature of such manoeuvres.
At the antipodes of this behavior, Morocco, a country of dialogue, always favoring harmony, negotiation, compromise, and always looking to the future, expressed itself masterfully, on July 30, through the Speech from the Throne of HM King Mohammed VI, during which the Sovereign reiterated his outstretched hand to Algeria, to find a realistic compromise, stressing at the same time that Morocco has and will not have any aggressive or vehement attention towards Algerian neighbours, he underlined.
The diplomat deplored that the behavior of the Algerian regime, unfortunately, goes in the opposite direction, wishing to maintain tension in the Maghreb region, acting, without reserve, as a factor of division, as demonstrated by the steps, initiatives and declarations , most often thoughtless and senseless, stemming solely from hostility, even an absurd hatred, but which is today raised with insight in all international bodies, including within the United Nations.
To this end, he indicated that the United Nations takes note of the great support of the international community for the territorial integrity of Morocco and its initiative for autonomy, democratic in essence, dedicated to putting a definitive end to the contrived dispute over the Sahara.
The United Nations knows full well that nearly 90% of the Member States do not endorse or adhere to the positions of the Algerian regime, while at the same time, expressing themselves through the opening of diplomatic posts, more and more States, have representations in the southern provinces which live in peace, economic and social development, and the exercise of freedoms, going as far as the tolerance of pseudo-activists linked to the separatist militias, but perfectly isolated from the overwhelming majority of the population of the Sahara, who recognize neither near nor far, any legitimacy to the theses of the Algerian regime and the militias that depend on it, he concluded.
