The source stated that the resolution approved by the Security Council last April has asked the UN Secretary General to submit a report on the course of settlement and international efforts to the Council every six months, highlighting Morocco's fear of revealing the violations of human rights in the light of its obstruction to the negotiations with the Polisario Front, last of which was withdrawing confidence from Christopher Ross last May.
