February 15, 2010: Western Sahara’s unresolved issues, Ljubljana

Western Sahara Support Society and Institute for African Studies invite to the international syposium "Western Sahara’s unresolved issues" which will take place in Ljubljana, Slovenia, on Monday, 15th February 2010.

The symposium will be a space for reflection, coordination and planning of solidarity actions with the Saharawi people; it aims to be a space for discussion and exchange for all those interested in adding new ideas and projects learning from them, being an open window and an amplifier of the widespread solidarity movement related to the Saharawi struggle and of struggle itself and to make people aware of the actual conditions in the western Sahara conflict.

The expected outcome of the symposium is to put the hypothesis to the test by providing a broad overview of the different courts which may contribute to the implementation of the rights of the Saharawis. In doing so, the symposium is pursuing a pragmatic approach. It seeks to isolate the solutions that the judicial world can offer to a conflict that drags on. At a more general and theoretical level, this symposium offers a reflection on the political role that law can play for peoples living under foreign domination.
