Central American Parliament Issues Historic Resolution Supporting Morocco’s Sovereignty over Western Sahara Despite Algeria and Polisario Maneuvers

In an unprecedented and historic move, the General Assembly of the Central American Parliament (PARLACEN) approved an official resolution affirming support for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Morocco and recognizing the autonomy initiative as a serious and realistic solution to the Western Sahara issue. This resolution marks a qualitative shift in the regional institution’s stance, as it is the first time such a document is issued as an official declaration signed by all Central American countries, rather than a mere statement or position by the parliament’s president.

Timely Vote and Political Implications

The resolution was voted on Wednesday at a critical moment, decisively thwarting recent attempts led by Algeria and the Polisario militias through Nicaragua and some of its representatives within the parliament. These efforts were seen as desperate attempts to save face following a series of diplomatic setbacks across Latin America.

Rising Role of Moroccan Parliamentary Diplomacy

This development highlights the pivotal role played by Moroccan parliamentary diplomacy, particularly the actions of the House of Councillors, in defending national causes within regional legislative bodies and consolidating growing international support for Morocco’s sovereignty over Western Sahara.
