From the UNSG report 84. In several letters to me, frente Polisario secretary general Abdelaziz called repeatedly for international monitoring of the observance of human rights in both Western Sahara and the refugee camps, arguing that this would provide the best possible guarantee that violations will not occur and would also constitute the best possible confidence-building measure for the negotiating process. He also reiterated the readiness of the Frente Polisario to cooperate with the human rights bodies of the United Nations, called for monitoring the observance of human rights in the refugee camps even in the absence of an overall mechanism, and proposed that the High Commissioner for Human Rights visit the refugee camps and Western Sahara itself for a first-hand assessment of the situation. Also, in the refugee camps administered by the Frente Polisario, Secretary-General Abdelaziz announced the creation of a Sahrawi National Council for Human Rights.
