The report "Peace in Sight?", published in June 2016, takes the reader through the story of the failed referendum on independence of Western Sahara, and explains why a referendum still has to be in the core of finding a solution to the conflict.

The report is an English translation of the report 'Fred i Sikte?" published in Norwegian in April 2016.
