October 31st, 2025. New York.

Inside the quiet chamber of the UN Security Council, a historic vote took place: Resolution 2797.

For many, this resolution is just one document among dozens adopted each year. But for Morocco, it marks the end of a 50-year struggle that weighed heavily on its economy, military, diplomacy, and people.

This is the story of a vote that could end one of the last territorial disputes of the 21st century.
