Dublin (Ireland), February 28, 2024 (SPS) - The Irish Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Michael Martin, reiterated his country's position on the Western Sahara issue, considering the Western Sahara as a non-self-governing territory under international law.
The Foreign Minister reaffirmed this position in response to two written questions submitted by Deputy Chris Andrews of the Sinn Féin party and Mr. Patrick Costello of the Green Party, which is part of the coalition government.
The minister emphasized, "As I have previously stated, Ireland recognizes Western Sahara as a non-self-governing territory under international law." He further added, "Based on this, our consistent policy is to support the resolutions of the United Nations Security Council to enable the people of Western Sahara to determine their own future."
