387. The file on the Western Sahara has now been spread before the entire international community; the facts are clear to everyone by now: it is a problem of thwarted decolonization, and no one can any longer question this glaring fact. 388. The issue of Western Sahara involves a national liberation struggle waged by a valiant people resolved and prepared at all costs to liberate this occupied home-land and achieve recognition of its legitimate national rights. 389. In view of the grave events which have continuously beset that region for four years, the Western Sahara question is now clearly perceived in the light of all its effects on the peace, stability and security of all the peoples inhabiting that part of the African continent.
