Al-Ghali Al-Ghilani, President of the International Diplomatic Center and Research Professor at Cadi Ayyad University in Marrakesh, the United Nations University for Peace and the African Center for Strategic Intelligence, said that Security Council Resolution No. 2797 came to consolidate what he described as “red-line diplomacy” established by King Mohammed VI in managing the Moroccan Sahara file, stressing that the Moroccan autonomy initiative has become the only serious and realistic framework for ending the artificial conflict.
This came during a national symposium hosted by the city of Souk Saturday, Awlad Al-Nama, devoted to analyzing the contexts of UN Resolution 2797 and reviewing its diplomatic and strategic implications, with the participation of an elite group of university professors and experts in law and international relations. The Regional Society for Education and Culture opened the symposium with a speech that stressed the importance of academic discussion on national developments related to territorial integrity.
Al-Ghali Al-Ghilani explained that Resolution 2797 gave new impetus to the gains achieved by Moroccan diplomacy, whether in terms of the expansion of the circle of countries supporting the autonomy initiative, or through the growing recognition of Morocco’s sovereignty over its southern provinces by influential international powers. He also stressed that the developmental dynamism witnessed by the southern regions, especially in light of the development model launched by the King in 2015, has today become an essential factor in strengthening the field legitimacy of the Moroccan proposal.
For his part, Dr. Mohamed El-Ghali, Dean of the Faculty of Legal, Economic and Social Sciences in Kelaa de Sraghna, pointed out that Resolution 2797 came at a moment when the region is witnessing profound strategic transformations, highlighting that the Moroccan approach is no longer limited to the traditional political dimension, but rather extends to strengthening common collective security in North Africa, the Sahel region and the African continent, which consolidates Morocco’s position as a pivotal regional and strategic actor.
He stated that the organization of the symposium falls within the framework of the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the Green March, and the academic interaction with the recent UN resolution, which reflects the position that the Kingdom has now enjoyed in managing this file.
The symposium included an intervention by Moulay Ismail Basir, Director of the Muhammad Basir Foundation for Studies, Research and Media, entitled: “Lessons and lessons inspired by the speech of our Lord, Commander of the Faithful, on the occasion of the Day of Unity,” in which he addressed the national values and established references affirmed by the royal speech in defense of territorial unity, stating that the last speech constitutes a reference directed to institutions, actors, and civil bodies, and contributes to strengthening national cohesion and consolidating a culture of shared responsibility.
Dr. Abdel Fattah Belamachi, Professor of International Relations at the Faculty of Law in Marrakesh – Cadi Ayyad University, also presented an intervention entitled: “The Moroccan Sahara between Historical Legitimacy and International Legitimacy: Reading in Light of Royal Speeches and UN Resolution 2797,” through which he highlighted the convergence of international legal foundations with Morocco’s historical legitimacy, stressing that the new UN resolution strengthens the Moroccan presence within the international community and strengthens the Kingdom’s position at the legal and diplomatic levels.
For his part, Dr. Said Boufrioui, Head of the Public Law Division at the Faculty of Law of Kelaat Sraghna – Cadi Ayyad University, presented an intervention entitled: “Geo-developmental prospects for Security Council Resolution 2797 and its impact on international strategic balances,” in which he addressed the geopolitical transformations expected as a result of the UN resolution, and pointed to its impact on the economic and social development of the southern provinces and on Moroccan positions of influence in regional and international balances.
As for Dr. Al-Mataqi Al-Bashir, Professor of Political Science at Sultan Moulay Slimane University, he presented an intervention entitled: “The Gains of Royal Diplomacy on the Moroccan Sahara Issue in Light of the Latest UN Resolutions,” in which he explained that Resolution 2797 reflects the results of the clear royal vision based on firmness and strategic clarity, stressing that this approach made Morocco a pivotal actor in regional and international equations and strengthened its position within the Security Council and the international community.
It should be noted that the symposium was organized by the Collective Council of the Saturday Market, Awlad Al-Nama, in partnership with the Regional Association for Education and Culture and the Umm Er-Rbia Association for Integrated Development, and was attended by the governor of the Fkih Ben Saleh region, a number of local and regional officials, and political and associational actors, in addition to an elite group of university professors, students, and experts specialized in international legal and political issues.
