Madrid, 29 June 2015 Dear friend, We are pleased to inform you that we are organizing a new edition of the EUCOCO. The 40th International Conference of Solidarity and Support to the Saharawi People will be held on 13 and 14 November in Madrid, at the Agustín Camacho Auditorium belonging to the Comisiones Obreras trade union (CCOO). It has now been 40 years since the ruling by the International Court of Justice in The Hague, 40 years since Morocco’s famous “Green March”, 40 years since Morocco’s military occupation and 40 years since the abandonment of Saharawi People by the Spanish State. During these 40 years, none of the successive Spanish governments has assumed its responsibility, in the same way that the United Nations and other key Governments have not fulfilled their obligations and assumed their role in ensuring respect for International Law. Injustice, illegality and occupation must come to an end. It is time to open a new page in history and assume responsibilities. The 40th EUCOCO in Madrid will be the best place to do it, as it was in Madrid where 40 years ago, on those same dates, the illegal Tripartite Accords were signed, by virtue of which Western Sahara was handed over to Morocco and Mauritania. For all these reasons, we encourage you to support and participate in this relevant Conference, showing your commitment to justice and human rights and your solidarity with the Saharawi People. You will find more information on the website of the 40th EUCOCO (www.eucocomadrid.org), where you can also register to participate.
