In 15 March, the New Zealand High Court of Justice issued its decision following legal action initiated last year by two members of the Polisario separatist movement.
Polisario's target was the New Zealand Superannuation Fund (NZSF), a sovereign wealth fund which is a kind of pension fund and which has invested in recent years in fertiliser production activities using phosphate from the Moroccan Sahara.
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 delegation of the Young Democrats of America (YDA), the youth wing of the US Democratic Party, called, on Friday from the city of Dakhla, on investors to gain a foothold in this region "which has a strong economic potential".
"There are many opportunities for investors to come and invest in Dakhla and share these resources with Africa," YDA President Joshua Harris-Till, who is on a four-day visit to Dakhla at the invitation of the youth of the Authenticity and Modernity Party (PAM), told MAP.
