History, international law, realities, and the future: on October 31, 2026, on the occasion of Unity Day, Sahara, Terre du Maroc, Philippe Liénard’s book, with a foreword by Ahmed Elallali and published by CODE Humanité, will be in the spotlight. It explores one of the major questions in the Kingdom’s contemporary history, with an ambition: to give readers the tools to understand, while leaving them the pleasure of discovery.
Some books take on a particular resonance when their publication coincides with a significant date.
On October 31, 2026, Philippe Liénard’s Sahara, Terre du Maroc will take centre stage on a day that has become highly symbolic for the Kingdom: Unity Day, “Aid Al Wahda,” established by His Majesty King Mohammed VI.
This date refers directly to October 31, 2025, when the United Nations Security Council adopted Resolution 2797 concerning Western Sahara. The resolution marked a new stage in the political process conducted under the auspices of the United Nations, and Morocco presented it as an important turning point concerning its Autonomy Initiative.
It is in this historical, diplomatic, and symbolic context that the spotlight on Sahara, Terre du Maroc takes on its full meaning.
History, international law, realities, and the future
The title catches the reader’s attention. The subtitle reveals a little more: History, International Law, Realities, and the Future of the Moroccan Model.
But there is no question of revealing more.
In this book, Philippe Liénard offers a historical and legal perspective on the Sahara and the Moroccan experience. He invites readers to look beyond the immediate news cycle and place the issue within the broader sweep of history and international law.
What should we know about the past to understand the present? How can we view today’s realities in light of history and law? What issues surround the Sahara, and what prospects might emerge for the future?
The questions are there. The answers are waiting to be discovered in the book.
A book, a date, a symbol
Choosing October 31, on the occasion of Unity Day, gives this presentation a particular significance.
Through Sahara, Terre du Maroc, Philippe Liénard invites readers to take the time to understand a subject that spans history, law, and international relations.
With a foreword by Ahmed Elallali, the book aims to provide a well-documented perspective on the Sahara and the Moroccan experience, while leaving readers to discover the facts, analysis, and perspectives as they turn the pages.
Some books can be summed up.
Others need to be discovered.
Sahara, Terre du Maroc belongs to the latter category.
