dc.description.abstractWestern Sahara illustrates how international law’s self-determination norm is being hollowed out. An examination of UN Security Council’s practice and Resolution 2797 (2025) shows a shift from referendum-based decolonization to status-quo management, privileging autonomy and stability over rights and justice.
