Territorial Disputes: Claims and administers Western
Sahara
whose sovereignty remains unresolved - UN-administered cease-fire has remained
in effect since Sep 1991, but attempts to hold a referendum have failed and
parties thus far have rejected all brokered proposals; Morocco protests Spain's
control over the coastal enclaves of Ceuta,
Melilla,
and Penon de Velez de la Gomera, the islands of Penon de Alhucemas and Islas
Chafarinas, and surrounding waters; discussions have not progressed on a
comprehensive maritime delimitation, setting limits on resource exploration
and refugee interdiction, since Morocco's 2002 rejection of Spain's unilateral
designation of a median line from the Canary Islands; Morocco serves as one
of the primary launching areas of illegal migration into Spain from North
Africa.
