description The Moroccan proposal for autonomy for Western Sahara presented in 2007contradicts international legislation recognizing the right of people of WesternSahara to self-determination and independence since, despite making provisionfor holding a referendum and referring in rhetorical terms to self-determination,it excludes the option of independence from the planned referendum.Furthermore, there is nothing new in the proposal, since Morocco hasbeen proposing the concession of some form of autonomy to Western Sahara,even getting as far as presenting a previous proposal in 2003. Finally, theproposal lacks credibility and seriousness, firstly because it is less clear and generousthan that presented in 2003 and, secondly, because it is incompatiblewith Moroccan law itself, from which no substantial changes are envisaged.An analysis of the systems for the distribution of jurisdictions and resolutionof conflicts, as well as the organization of the possible “autonomy” andguarantee of it or the electoral body and the system of fundamental rights,reveals that the Moroccan proposal contains numerous empty clauses.
