The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) meets at the end of October on the future of Western Sahara. The emerging consensus in the 15-member body is not to renew the United Nations Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara (MINURSO), which expires on 31 October. Since the main objective of MINURSO is to organise a referendum on the Sahrawi demand for independence, this technically would mean handing over the founding member of the African Union (AU) to Morocco.
