Trinidad Jimenez manifested itself in Madrid on 12 July 2003 for the independence of Western Sahara Sahrawi displaying stickers; however being Foreign Minister in October 2010 claimed no information about the attack and dismantlement (with death of several Sahrawi) of Gdeim Izik or Camp of Dignity peacefully set on the outskirts of El Aaiun, when all agencies press, the Spanish Congress and the European Parliament already had fulfilled knowledge of what happened. Or an action for the benefit of the Sahrawi, not a word of condemnation of the Moroccan brutalities …
The now MEP Esteban Gonzalez Pons and now parliamentary Basque Inaki Oyarzabal exhibited a Spanish flag with the Saharawi flags at a demonstration in Madrid on October 13, 2010, wanting to make clear that the commitment of Spain with the Saharawis. But since 2011 the Government supported by the Popular Party, of which the above are members, has not taken any action in favor of the original inhabitants of Western Sahara; nor he has condemned the abuses of the Moroccan occupiers against the population; nor has it recognized the Spanish nationality of the residents counted or their descendants; or recognize the authenticity of documents issued by the authorities of the SADR; or deters Spanish companies that, contrary to art. 73 of the United Nations Charter and art. 1.2 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (New York, 12/19/1966) – traded products (phosphates, sand) extracted from the Saharan soil, or fish taken from its waters; waters which, incidentally, now the Spanish commissioner in the European Union Miguel Arias Canete stood south of Agadir ; just as the Cervantes Institute, which has centers in Morocco (Casablanca, Fez, Marrakech, Rabat, Tangier and Tetouan), Algeria (Algiers and Oran), and Tunisia, he announces that it will open a center in El Aaiun, placing in north Africa! as if the expression Western Sahara out nefarious. Everything is to not disturb the Commander of the believers.
It was only the party Union, Progress and Democracy (UPyD), who on 29 October 2009 presented at the Congress of Deputies a proposition of law to establish the principles that should govern the Spanish foreign policy regarding the Western Sahara (which included support for self-determination of the Saharawi people, recognition of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic , etc.). The proposal was rejected and today, UPyD is no longer in Congress.
However, the legal reality is stubborn. The Plenum of the Criminal Division of the National Court has issued an order on July 4, 2014 in the case of the murder of Spanish citizens Baby Handay Buyema on November 8, 2010 at Camp Gdeim Izik, self by keeping open the investigation of the case; meanwhile the Central Court of Instruction No. 5 has issued an order on April 9, 2015 eleven Moroccan officials processing (gendarmes, police, etc.) for genocide committed during the invasion and subsequent occupation of Western Sahara; what matters is that it is recalled that Spain, mandated by the NN UU, remains formally the administrator of Western Sahara and therefore has jurisdiction over the territory (art. 8 of the Civil Code and 23.1 of the Organic Law of the Judiciary). On the other hand, the Court of Justice of the European Union just cancel the December 10, 2015 the agricultural agreement between the EU and Morocco on 12 March 2012 because Morocco (whose sovereignty over Western Sahara the Court denies) operates illegally the natural resources of the territory to the detriment of the Saharawi people. What has made recognizing the undeniable right of the Frente POLISARIO, the legitimate representative of the people of Western Sahara as the United Nations, to litigate in Europe in defense of their interests.
It is also stubborn diplomatic reality. The Frente POLISARIO has recently achieved a special international recognition on June 23, 2015 to be taken by a party to the Additional Protocol (8 June 1977) to the Geneva Conventions on the protection of victims of international armed conflicts.
We are in February 2016. 40 years ago that Spain left the Western Sahara, which was immediately occupied by Morocco, who persecuted its population with bombing napalm , well poisoning, strewn with mines, executions, rape, etc. The fierce repression continues, and the MINURSO persists in his forced inability to monitor respect for human rights. The question arises, what will the Friends of the Sahara when in April 2016 is raised before the Security Council the extension of the mission.
