On May 29, 2026, Algeria reiterated its support for the United Nations parameters for resolving the Western Sahara conflict during a UN Security Council session. The Algerian representative emphasized the need for a political solution based on self-determination for the Sahrawi people, in line with UN resolutions.
Algeria called for the full implementation of the UN Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara (MINURSO) mandate, including its human rights monitoring component. The statement reaffirmed Algeria's position as a key stakeholder in the peace process, without claiming sovereignty over the territory.
The UN Security Council has repeatedly called for a mutually acceptable political solution that provides for the self-determination of the people of Western Sahara. Algeria's remarks come amid ongoing tensions between Morocco and the Polisario Front, with the ceasefire remaining fragile since its breakdown in November 2020.
