\nthe right to life (Article 6); the prohibition on torture (Article 7); the right to be protected from
\narbitrary detention (Article 9); the right to humane treatment of persons deprived of their
\nliberty (Article 10); the right to freedom of movement (Article 12); the right to equality before
\ncourts and tribunals and to a fair trial (Article 14); the right to privacy (Article 17); the rights
\nto freedom of expression and peaceful assembly (Articles 19 and 21); and the right to freedom

Our review of the Committee\u2019s prior Concluding Observations with regard to the Kingdom of
\nMorocco has revealed several gaps in the Committee\u2019s treatment of the rights of the Sahrawi
\npeople by Morocco. In this report, we provide information based on data gathered by the
\nsignatories to this report, interviews with sources in Western Sahara, and publically available
\nresearch conducted in the territory by academics and NGOs. Many of our sources have
\nrequested to remain anonymous over fears of harassment and detention if their identity is
\nknown.<\/p>\n
We also include an analysis of the legal and historical framework that should guide this
\nCommittee\u2019s review with regard to violations of the ICCPR in Western Sahara. In this regard,
\nwe believe that the Committee\u2019s analysis of Israel\u2019s violations of the Covenant in the
\nOccupied Territories is especially pertinent.1
