Morocco’s autonomy plan for the Sahara as well as Morocco-Spain relations were the focus of a conference held Thursday at the Law Faculty of Zaragoza University, following UN Security Resolution 2797.
Organized at the initiative of the Consulate General of the Kingdom of Morocco in Tarragona, in partnership with the Faculty, the Zaragoza Bar Association, and several civil society organizations, this event provided an opportunity to examine the latest developments regarding the Moroccan Sahara issue, while highlighting the positive momentum of relations between Rabat and Madrid.
This academic conference also served to highlight the growing momentum of international support for the Moroccan autonomy plan, rooted in a dynamic of legitimacy, stability, and responsibility.
Carmen Tirado Robles, a professor of public international law at the University of Zaragoza, stated that Security Council Resolution 2797 is “explicit support” for Morocco’s autonomy initiative, which is gaining growing international backing as a realistic and pragmatic solution to this regional dispute.
The scholar also presented an in-depth analysis of the evolution of relations between Morocco and Spain, highlighting their prospects for development in various fields.
For his part, Dean of the Faculty of Law Antonio García Gómez spoke of “strategic and forward-looking” relations between Morocco and Spain, noting that the two countries now share projects of global significance, such as co-hosting the 2030 World Cup.
On the sidelines of this conference, an exhibition of manuscripts and previously unpublished documents hailing from one of the most important libraries on Moroccan Sahara was organized, with a collection of over 23,000 items, shedding light on the historical and legal foundations of the Moroccan identity of the Sahara.
