The UN [United Nations] has been trying since August 1988 to arrange a ceasefire between Morocco and the POLISARIO guerrillas and end their dispute over the Western Sahara. Once the fighting stopped, the UN would then help prepare the territory for a referendum to determine whether the people wished to be independent or citizens of Morocco. The necessary conditions have not yet been agreed to, however, and although the mission is still in operation, Canada's participation ended in 1994. 3, record 1, English, - United%20Nations%20Mission%20for%20the%20Referendum%20in%20Western%20Sahara

L'ONU [Organisation des Nations Unies] cherche depuis août 1988 à négocier un cessez-le-feu entre le Maroc et les combattants du POLISARIO pour mettre fin à leur conflit au sujet du Sahara occidental. Lorsque les combats cesseront, l'ONU aidera à préparer le territoire en vue d'un référendum pour déterminer si les habitants souhaitent l'indépendance ou veulent demeurer citoyens marocains. Les parties en cause ne s'entendent toujours pas sur les conditions nécessaires. Bien que la mission se poursuive, la participation du Canada a pris fin en 1994. 3, record 1, French, - Mission%20des%20Nations%20Unies%20pour%20l%27organisation%20d%27un%20r%C3%A9f%C3%A9rendum%20au%20Sahara%20occidental
