ii. The AU should call on and engage with the UN Security Council for the inclusion of monitoring of human rights violations in the Occupied Territory in the mandate of MINURSO. The mandate of MINURSO was recently extended until 30 April 2013; however the monitoring of human rights was yet again excluded from the mandate. iii. The AU and other international bodies should use their good offices with the States involved so that the mined areas which represent a continuing source of danger to the population be demined at the earliest opportunity. iv. While the situation in Western Sahara persists, the AU should advocate for the establishment of a special humanitarian regime to cater for the needs of Sahrawi refugees which constitute the oldest refugee sitaution in Africa. The AU should support the return of humanitarian organisations to the refugee camps. v. African humanitarian organizations should show more interest for Sahrawi refugees who undoubtedly need their assistance, as an African people living on African soil. The AU should encourage its Member States to contribute financially to humanitarian efforts in the refugee camps as well as to offer scholarships for higher education opportunities to Sahrawi students. vi. There is need for an AU monitoring office to be opened in Western Sahara. 58. The delegation extends its appreciation to the authorities of the SADR for their hospitality, cooperation and full transparency throughout the mission as well as to all stakeholders with whom it met during the mission both in Algiers and the Refugee Camps. 16 | P a g e
