UK lawmakers: Morocco’s proposal for Western Sahara will advance regional and international security

More 30 Members of Parliament and the House of Lords in the United Kingdom have called for the British government to endorse Morocco’s proposed solution for Western Sahara. In a letter to the UK foreign minister Lord David Cameron, the legislators lay out how the proposal supports regional and international security. The text also highlights the global support that Morocco’s plan has already garnered.

“With the broad backing from our Western allies and more than 80 countries worldwide, the initiative is heralded as the most practical and pragmatic path to stability”... the letter says, copy of which was posted online on X.

The lawmakers go on to point to how the plan forms a crucial part of an emerging security architecture for the Middle East and Africa, which includes the Abraham accords: 

“Rallying around this plan, which stands ultimately as the sole realistic solution, underscores a global commitment to resolving the issue. The collective support it boasts signals a readiness among international partners to promote regional stability and prosperity, reinforcing the Autonomy Initiative’s pivotal role in advancing regional peace efforts.”
