Western Sahara UN peacekeeping mission MINURSO ends after 35 years as its mandate expires without renewal.
The United Nations mission in Western Sahara, known as MINURSO, began winding down on November 1, 2026, after the Security Council failed to renew its mandate, which expired on October 31. The mission has monitored a ceasefire since 1991, but its promised referendum never took place. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres urged restraint, while Morocco welcomed the outcome and the Polisario Front voiced concern. The underlying dispute remains unresolved.
