De "Union du Maghreb Arabe": regionalisering en conflictbeslechting
Abstract
The “Arabe Maghreb Union': regionalisation and conflict-resolution – There is an increasing tendency towards regionalization of international organisations. On February 17th, the leaders of Algeria, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco and Tunisia formally set up the Arab Maghreb Union (AMU). They signed, in Marrakech (Morocco), a treaty in view of forming a Maghreb political and economic union, on the basis of the E.E.C.-model. The struggle for an independent Western Sahara by the Polisario Front, supported by Algeria, against the Moroccan occupying forces, thwarts the aims of the AMU. Analysing the various meetings of the AMU, we have to conclude that the member-states used the regional organisation in search of solutions for their common - and proper – economical problems, rather than to solve the conflict concerning the Western Sahara.
