US experts in law and international relations on Wednesday underlined the relevance of the US Proclamation on the Moroccan Sahara, noting that support for autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty has been for a long time supported by several US administrations.

A high-level panel of experts on Tuesday called on the current US administration to support Morocco's efforts to settle the Sahara conflict through a political solution based on the autonomy plan, as the only solution to this regional dispute.

The decision even called into question the reasons behind the separatists' insistence on abusing New Zealand's legal system to serve a foreign agenda, wrote James Wilson, editor of the Brussels-based portal, in an article published on Tuesday.

The Democratic Republic of Sao Tome and Principe has published in its Official Gazette the legal texts establishing an embassy in Rabat and a Consulate General in Laayoune.

Bruno Fuchs, deputy for the 6th district of Haut Rhin and member of the Foreign Affairs Committee at the National Assembly, called for a solution to the Sahara issue within the framework of the autonomy plan proposed by Morocco.
