Morocco expressed its strong displeasure and outright rejection of the use of the term “both parties” in the paragraph concerning its Sahara in the report, considering it a deviation from the balanced stance the Council should maintain. This formulation places the Kingdom, whose settlement proposal enjoys near international consensus, on the same level as the separatist Polisario Front, which most countries consider an illegitimate entity, and which the United States is expected to designate as a terrorist organization in the near future.
