In October 2001, Total signed a contract for oil-reconnaissance in areas offshore Western Sahara (near Dakhla), with the Moroccan Office National de Recherches et d’Exploitations Petrolières (ONAREP). In January 2002, Hans Corell (the United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Legal Affairs) stated in a letter to the President of the Security Council that whenever the contracts are only for exploration theyre not illegal, but if further exploration or exploitation are against the interests and wishes of the people of Western Sahara, they would be in violation of the principles of international law.[41] en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_S.A.#Western_Sahara_oil_exploration NO AFFILIATION
