Many factors stand behind the social movements brought about every now and then in the Sahara, political life liberation, human rights demand, unemployment and youth protest, phenomena existing everywhere else. They appear on the front page of the national press, to the extent of echoing secessionist words. All the authorities relating to human rights respect are represented in the Sahara in order to receive the complaints of the Moroccan Sahrawi citizens, victims of exaction or power abuse: courts, the Advisory Council for Human Rights, Diwan Al Mazalim, Equity and Reconciliation Commission, as well as a human rights committee created within the CORCAS.
Nonetheless, human rights, besides the political rights, require also socioeconomic rights and human development within the respect of dignity. Morocco has undertaken from the beginning all the necessary measures so that the Sahrawi people feel totally integrated in the Moroccan society. A solidarity impulse has been launched by the State and the Moroccan civil society for an upgrading of the Sahara region in order to catch up with the delay in development, precariousness, total absence of basic infrastructure and the extreme poverty in which colonization has left the region.
The Moroccan State has carried out tremendous development efforts in the Sahara, qualified even as positive discriminations vis-à-vis the other regions of Morocco. Human rights are, prior and after all, regarding all their aspects, an ethical challenge issue.
