Sweden underlines its policy
Agneta Berliner asked me if I intend to take steps to have a new situation analysis of natural resources of Western Sahara in terms of international law, given that Sweden has identified Western Sahara as occupied territory .
The Government’s attitude about the analysis of the substance of international law, is clear: The region now called the Western Sahara, the former Spanish colony Spanish Sahara, is occupied by Morocco. We base this conclusion on the decision made by the International Court in 1975: Morocco has no right to Western Sahara.
This means that Morocco has a duty to maintain order and safeguard general public and social life, and that Morocco has no right to exploit the natural resources that exist in Western Sahara, for his own benefit . The exploitation and utilization of renewable resources for the benefit of the Saharawi people can be accepted by international law. When it comes to resources renouvenables, a large reserve is de rigueur. The principle of international law prescrit well as the Saharawi people can have an influence on how such exploitation is made, and that benefits economically. The legal service of the United Nations has maintained in his statement (S/2002/161) from 2002 that the extraction and exploitation of oil in Western Sahara contrary to the principles of the right of peoples to self-determination, are not compatible with international law. In this context, it is important to emphasize that in the agreements analyzed by the legal service, it is oil exploration and no oil.
The above findings constitute the basic viewpoints of the government. For this reason I see no reason for a renewed analysis of the kind that demand Agneta Berliner.
