NOON BRIEFINGS
16 AUGUST 2016
Daily Press Briefing by the Office of the Spokesperson for the Secretary-General
Question: Thank you, Farhan. I wonder whether the Secretary‑General has any response to a letter from the Polisario Front accusing Morocco of violating the ceasefire in an area of Western Sahara near the Mauritanian border.
Deputy Spokesman: Yeah, on that, what I can say is that the UN Mission in Western Sahara, MINURSO, has seen reports of alleged violations in the southwestern part of Western Sahara near Mauritania. The Mission is liaising with both parties in order to ascertain the facts and will deploy its capabilities, if it is so required, as per its mandate.
