Among these organizations are the Argentine Association for Human Rights, the Documentation Center for Human Rights in Ecuador, the Chilean Association for Friendship with the Sahrawi Republic, the Colombian Association for Friendship with the Sahrawi People, the Ecuadorian Association for Friendship with the Sahrawi People, the Honduran Association for Friendship with the Sahrawi Republic, the Nicaraguan Association for Solidarity and Friendship with the Sahrawi People, the Panamanian Association for Solidarity with the Sahrawi Cause, the Free Sahara Foundation in Venezuela, the Mexican Association for Friendship with the Sahrawi Republic, the Uruguayan Association for Friendship with the Sahrawi Republic, the Venezuelan Solidarity with Western Sahara Association, among several others.

These organizations represent fifteen countries in the Americas. In their joint statement, they outline the severe violations committed by Morocco against the Sahrawi people, which persist to this day. The statement also emphasizes the ongoing violations against the Moroccan people themselves.
