Rabat – November 1, 2025 – The Justice and Development Party (PJD), Morocco’s main Islamist party, issued an official statement welcoming the recent UN Security Council resolution on the Moroccan Sahara, describing it as a “great historic achievement and victory for legitimacy and Moroccan right”, based on successive legitimate allegiance ties, established historical facts, and religious, social, and cultural cohesion among the sons of one nation.
The party considered in its statement that the resolution constitutes a “culmination of centuries of national struggle” against colonialism and foreign intervention, rejecting partition and fragmentation projects, and seeking to achieve beneficial cooperation and joint action among brotherly Maghreb peoples.
Praise for Royal and Diplomatic Role
The statement praised the “continuous and effective political and diplomatic efforts” led by His Majesty King Mohammed VI with high wisdom and great firmness in managing this strategic national file. It highlighted that these efforts were crowned with a series of successive international recognitions of the Moroccanness of the Southern Provinces, and were embodied at this historic turning point by establishing the Moroccan autonomy proposal under Moroccan sovereignty as the sole political solution to the dispute.
The party also expressed its great appreciation for:
- The continuous work of all state institutions.
- The militancy and professionalism of Moroccan diplomacy at the United Nations and in countries around the world.
- The activity of parliamentary, party, and civil diplomacy in raising awareness about the first national cause and confronting maneuvers hostile to the Kingdom.
Context of the International Resolution
The Justice and Development Party’s position comes among a series of positive national reactions to the Security Council resolution issued on the evening of October 31, 2025, which considered the autonomy initiative the “sole and realistic basis” for settlement, supported by 11 votes, calling on parties to engage in serious negotiations. This statement is a confirmation of national consensus on territorial integrity, as the Moroccan Union for Higher Education and the House of Representatives have previously issued similar positions.
Political Significance of the Statement
The Justice and Development Party, which previously led the government, is one of the most prominent parties supporting national constants, and its statement confirms national cohesion behind the Royal leadership on this file. The emphasis on “allegiance ties” highlights the constitutional and historical dimension of territorial integrity, strengthening the internal and external legitimacy of the Moroccan position.
