Bennis said the resolution crowns a diplomatic trajectory launched in 2007, when Morocco presented its Autonomy Initiative. He pointed to Resolution 1754 as the first major milestone, followed by a deeper shift in 2018 when the Council identified Algeria as a principal party. He stressed that Morocco’s parallel diplomatic efforts have helped build broad international support, reflected in Resolution 2797’s adoption without a single opposing vote. For Bennis, this signals that the autonomy plan is now widely seen as the only credible basis for a political solution. Speakers stressed that Resolution 2797, adopted on October 31, represents more than a routine renewal.
