摘要

October’s UN Resolution 2797 seemed to favor a pro-Moroccan solution over Western Sahara’s independence struggle. In reality, the Council adopted it under difficult circumstances. What was truly unprecedented was its lack of support from Russia and China. Partisan US unilateralism has deepened divisions likely to perpetuate the conflict. This intervention situates Resolution 2797 and Western Sahara’s protracted decolonization within heightened multipolar geopolitical rivalry.
