The European Court of Justice ruled that the fisheries and agriculture agreements between the EU and Morocco are invalid, lacking the necessary consent from the people of Western Sahara.
This ruling highlights the principles of self-determination as crucial, asserting that the Moroccan agreements violate international law because they were concluded without consulting Western Sahara's population.
The EU's executive branch and member states' council had their legal appeals dismissed, marking a significant stand against the lack of consent regarding Western Sahara's territorial integrity.
Western Sahara's status is considered sensitive by Morocco, which views it as part of its territory since the 1975 annexation and opposes any challenges to its sovereignty.
