Original language of petition: French
Petition to the Minister of Foreign Affairs
- There are an estimated 100,000 Canadians of Moroccan origin, and that the Moroccan claim to Western Sahara is an intrinsic value shared by each of them, regardless of age, religion or political views;
- The Saharawi Arab Democratic Republic is not a state recognized by the international community or by Canada, and its flag is not included in any United Nations document; and
- The 2007 Western Sahara Autonomy Proposal by Morocco is a serious and credible plan, recognized as such not only by all the permanent members of the UN Security Council, but also by the Gulf Cooperation Council countries and by a number of countries in the international community.
