Assembly/AU/6(XV) Page 12 about 5.7 million petitioners, was submitted to the IEC on 12 July by the technical operators. Consideration of the “grey list” is to begin on 20 July 2010 and the new date of the Presidential elections set in a few weeks. 54. It would be appropriate for the Assembly to once again make an urgent appeal to the Ivorian parties to spare no effort to rapidly bring the crisis exit process to conclusion and promote an enabling environment for the rapid holding of elections, especially by finding solutions to pending issues. 55. The protracted impasse in the peace process in Western Sahara continues to show no signs of yielding, in spite of the efforts being made by the Personal Envoy of the UN Secretary-General for Western Sahara, Ambassador Christopher Ross. From 10 to 11 February 2010, the Personal Envoy convened a second informal meeting between Morocco and Frente POLISARIO in Westchester County, in New York. These talks did not result in any progress. The Personal Envoy also visited the region in March 2010 to solicit the parties’ ideas on how to move beyond the present impasse. Subsequently, the Personal Envoy undertook visits to London, Paris and Madrid, for consultation with relevant officials. 56. In his report on the situation concerning Western Sahara dated 6 April 2010, the UN Secretary-General stated that “neither party is prepared to accept the proposal of the other as the sole basis of future negotiations and that nothing in their relations or in the regional or international environment is likely to occur to change this for the foreseeable future.” On its part, the Security Council, on 30 April 2010, adopted resolution 1920, which, among other things, welcomed the parties’ commitment to continue the process of holding small, informal talks, in preparation for a fifth round of negotiation, and called upon them to continue negotiations without pre-conditions, to achieve a just, lasting and mutually acceptable political solution, which will provide for the self-determination of the people of Western Sahara.

The Assembly may wish to express its support to the efforts aimed at resolving the dispute on Western Sahara on the basis of relevant Security Council and General Assembly resolutions, as well as the Tripoli Plan of Action. This Plan of Action reiterated Africa’s commitment to the holding of a referendum of selfdetermination that would allow the people of Western Sahara to choose between the independence of the Territory and its integration within the Kingdom of Morocco. (ii) Restoration of Constitutional Order 58. The restoration of legality in the countries that have experienced a breakdown in constitutional order continued to be a priority for the AU. While the deadlock in Madagascar persists, significant progress has been made in Guinea and Niger. 59. During the period under consideration, no progress was made in terms of the process of restoration of constitutional order in Madagascar. The Assembly will recall that on 21 January 2010, the Chairperson of the Commission submitted to the Malagasy parties, compromise proposals designed to facilitate implementation of the Maputo Agreements of August 2009 and the Addis Ababa Additional Act of November 2009. Whereas the other political movements generally accepted these
