"Mr President, a few months ago, in this very Chamber, we debated the need to assist the Saharawi people by means of humanitarian aid. We took that opportunity to point out that this situation is the result of a political conflict which we have so far been unable to resolve. We are talking today about a serious and worrying situation, relating to the violation of the human rights of the Saharawi people: their rights to free expression, to demonstrate and to freedom of movement, of which we have become aware over recent months both via human rights organisations and via the media. We in this Parliament are therefore today appealing strongly to the Moroccan authorities to release the Saharawi political prisoners. Furthermore, we believe the visit of this delegation from the European Parliament to be vital, in order to acquire first hand accurate information about the current situation in Saharan territory. There is no question that this conflict requires decisive intervention, both by international bodies and by the European Union, in order to put an end to three decades of injustice and suffering. The appointment by the United Nations of the new representative for MINURSO is a good sign. It is now time to make it possible to establish the conditions to resolve this conflict and to recognise the legitimate aspiration of the Saharawi people to determine their own future. Ladies and gentlemen, today’s debate must not be just one more debate, and nor must today’s resolution be just one more to add to the many we have passed on this subject. For the sake of human rights and social justice, we have the duty to work in this direction."@en1
