Description
Western Sahara embodies a clash of statehood and colonialism, revealing intricate political history and legal protections.
Western Sahara stands at the crossroads of statehood and colonialism. Still listed as a non-self-governing territory under Article 73 of the UN Charter, it is also home to a self-proclaimed state founded in 1976 by its people: the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR), founding member of the African Union. Western Sahara - State and Colony explores this legal complexity, tracing the territory's political history, constitutional development, and the international legal protection of its natural resources, with key legal texts included such as the 2023 Constitution of the SADR and the Statute of the POLISARIO Front in the annex.
