Trade unions in Melbourne, Australia, called on the United Nations and international bodies to put pressure on the Moroccan occupation state to implement United Nations resolutions, respect human rights and stop plundering the natural resources of Western Sahara.
This came in a workshop of labor solidarity with the Sahrawi people, held by the General Union of Workers of Saguia El Hamra and Rio de Oro, on the sidelines of the proceedings of the Fifth Conference of the International Confederation of Trade Unions held in Melbourne from 17 to 22 November under the slogan: “For a New Social Contract”, with the participation of several Arab, African and Latin American unions.
The Sahrawi News Agency (SPS) reported that the union representatives expressed, during their interventions, their unconditional solidarity with the Sahrawi workers, especially in the occupied part of Western Sahara, calling on the United Nations and international bodies to put pressure on the Moroccan occupying state to implement United Nations resolutions, respect human rights and stop the plundering of the natural resources of Western Sahara and the release of Sahrawi political prisoners in Moroccan prisons.
SPS said that the participation of the Sahrawi trade union delegation in the conference falls within the framework of searching for ways to establish friendship and cooperation relations with international unions, and advocating for the rights of Sahrawi workers, as well as within the framework of searching for new opportunities and horizons to make, the just cause of the Sahrawi people, known.
