Al Jazeera reported in its Arabic edition that Russia used its veto to block a US draft resolution on the United Nations mission for the referendum in Western Sahara (MINURSO). The Al Jazeera report argues that the veto opens the Western Sahara file to two divergent readings. The first considers it a Moroccan victory. The second considers it an overreach against the United Nations. This view is an analytical commentary contained in the report, not an established fact. The content of the draft resolution, the outcome of the vote and the positions of the parties concerned remain unknown.
