ITU rejects Moroccan radio stations in Western Sahara
The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) has refused the recourse
of Morocco to establish stations of communications per radio on the ground
of the Occidental Sahara, basing itself on the fact that the Occidental
Sahara is a ground which does not have sovereignty and which the United
Nations did not rule this case. 
An Algerian diplomatic source has indicated that the Legal magistrate
of the Union has estimated that the fact of establishing stations of audio
communications in the Occidental Sahara and to put a symbol of its membership
at Morocco is an unacceptable thing, it has expressed this position at the
time of a regional conference of telecommunications by radio, who was held
the 15 of the month in progress in Geneva. The source has indicated that
the position of the Legal magistrate comes at the request of the Algerian
delegation which approached the revision of the agreement of Geneva around
the radio transmissions signed in 1989.
The source continued, bringing back the words of the Legal magistrate of
the Union, by indicating that the Sahara Occidental “is an area which
does not concern the territory of the Moroccan Kingdom according to decisions'
of the United Nations. The Italian President of the House of Representatives,
Fosto Bertinotti, has denounced the violations of the human rights and the
acts of tortures exerted by the Moroccan mode in the Sahara Occidental.
He has declared after a meeting in Mounadhala of the sahraouis human rights
“Aminatou Haidar” in Rome that it was opposed to the war “but
we also oppose so that the international community remains spectator in
front of the dangerous violation of the humans right”.
