US, UN Back Lasting Sahara Solution Under UNSC Resolution 2797

The US and UN coordination on the Sahara issue, following UNSC Resolution 2797's endorsement of Morocco's autonomy plan, signals continued international backing for a settlement framework centered on Moroccan sovereignty. For businesses, this reduces near-term political risk around the territory's investment climate, though the unresolved status and opposition from Algeria and the Polisario Front mean legal and diplomatic uncertainty persists. Resolution 2797's endorsement may accelerate commercial interest in Western Sahara's resource and infrastructure sectors, but firms should weigh it against potential exposure to competing sovereignty claims and litigation risks in third-country courts.
