UN Envoy to Western Sahara, Christopher Ross has the responsibility to make the referendum for self-determination of the Western Sahara happen. Otherwise, the United Nations would prove once again its ineffectiveness to decolonize the last African Colony, The Western Sahara. 30 years of illegal Moroccan occupation are way too many. Freedom for the Western Sahara NOW
