United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres announced the end of the mandate of the UN Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara (MINURSO) after 35 years, following the Security Council’s failure to agree on an extension. The mission’s liquidation and the return of its assets are to begin on November 1. Morocco welcomed the decision, while the Polisario Front and Algeria expressed concern and regret. MINURSO had monitored the ceasefire since 1991 and was tasked with organizing a referendum that never took place because of disagreement over voter eligibility. The mandate’s end came after the Council rejected a competing Russian resolution, and after Russia vetoed a US draft resolution supporting an autonomy plan under Moroccan sovereignty.
