That this House expresses its horror at the violent dismantling by the Moroccan forces of refugee camps in the Western Sahara; notes the accompanying deaths of three security officials, another potentially lethal stabbingand many injuries; notes that the unrest precedes by hours the resumption of informal UN-sponsored talks in New York between Morocco and the Polisario Front; and calls on the Government to signal that it is not prepared for the stalemate to continue in defiance of UN resolutions and international law, to organise higher-level UK engagement in a resolution of the issue, to monitor human rights violations and to end the exploitation of resources in the Occupied Territory.
