The United Nations has called for more human rights oversight in Western Sahara, the vast northwest African territory occupied by Morocco since 1975, as a mandate for UN peace keepers in the disputed region comes up for renewal later this month. UN chief Ban Ki-moon called for sustained, independent and impartial monitoring of human rights in the territory, while welcoming Morocco’s efforts to improve the situation in the area under its control. Ban said he welcomed Moroccos willingness to allow special investigators from the UN Human Rights Council to visit the territory and the Polisario Front independence movements willingness to work with the UN. The end goal nevertheless remains a sustained, independent and impartial human rights monitoring, Ban said.
