thumb|Aicha Duihi Aicha Duihi is a Sahrawi Moroccan human rights activist. President of Sahara Observatory for Peace, Democracy and Human Rights (OSPDH), advocate at UN Human Rights Council, winner of European Prize for International Women's Leadership (2019). Quotes These camps are officially recognized as refugee camps by the United Nations, yet they fail to meet the basic criteria for refugee status. We receive harrowing testimonies of extrajudicial executions, forced disappearances, and arbitrary detentions. Algeria has completely delegated the management of these camps to the Polisario, including military and judicial control, which is a direct violation of international law. It is unacceptable that these people have been held captive for nearly 50 years, without the possibility of return or resettlement in dignified conditions. While humanitarian assistance remains indispensable, it cannot substitute for the safeguards required to protect individual rights, nor for independent monitoring. Competitiveness that is not rooted in respect for rights is short-lived, fragile, and ultimately counterproductive. Early prevention of violations remains the cornerstone of safeguarding human dignity, particularly in contexts of protracted conflict.
