Foreign relations of Western Sahara

Western Sahara is claimed and administered by Morocco since Spain abandoned the territory in 1976, but sovereignty is unresolved and the United Nations is attempting to hold a referendum on the issue through the mission MINURSO. The UN-administered cease-fire has been in effect since September 1991.
