UN Discovers Colonialism Now Good, If US-Backed
According to The Guardian, the UN Security Council, with US backing, has approved a resolution bolstering Morocco’s claim over Western Sahara. This 'strongest endorsement yet' for Morocco's annexation plan somehow glides past the 1975 International Court of Justice opinion that found no legal ties justifying Morocco's sovereignty. Meanwhile, the Sahrawi people, recognized by the UN as having a
right to self-determination, continue to wait on a referendum promised for decades—a quaint little detail largely ignored by 'international consensus' when it’s inconvenient for a US ally. It appears 'self-determination' is a principle as flexible as funding for UNRWA—great in theory, until a powerful nation decides a resource-rich territory, or an allied occupier, is more critical. One might
wonder if the next UN mandate will be simply to rewrite history to match current geopolitical convenience. After all, why let pesky international law get in the way of a good old-fashioned land grab?
