Sixty-second General Assembly - Plenary 17.12.07
ON FOURTH COMMITTEE’S RECOMMENDATION, GENERAL ASSEMBLY ADOPTS 26 TEXTS ON MINES, DECOLONIZATION, ATOMIC RADIATION, ISRAELI PRACTICES, AMONG OTHER TOPICS
(...)
By draft I, on the Question of Western Sahara, the Assembly would strongly support Security Council resolution 1754 (2007), in which the Council called upon the parties to enter into negotiations without preconditions in good faith, with a view to achieving a just, lasting and mutually acceptable political solution, which will provide for the self-determination of the people of Western Sahara. The Assembly would welcome the ongoing negotiations between the parties held in June and August 2007. It would also commend the Secretary-General and his Personal Envoy for implementing the Council’s resolution, and would encourage all parties to continue to show political will and a spirit of cooperation, and to create a propitious atmosphere for dialogue and successful negotiations.
(...)
It then turned to the report on Implementation of the Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples (document A/62/412), adopting draft resolution I, on the question of Western Sahara, without a vote.
