Bolton Lauds Release of Moroccan Prisoners of War
On August 18, 2005, John R. Bolton, the controversial U.S. Permanent Representative to the United Nations, issued a statement on the release of 404 Moroccan Prisoners of war held by the POLISARIO Front in Algeria, for the past 20 years.
During his contentions confirmation hearing before the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee in April 2005, Mr. Bolton mentioned his work with Special Envoy James Baker in the effort to bring the Algerian and Moroccan Governments to an agreement on the Western Sahara conflict.
