 Its conclusion on the human rights situation for the Sahrawis in Tindouf was that "we found conditions to be satisfactory, taking into account the difficulties posed by the climate and desolate location".In 1997 and 1999 respectively, the Canadian Lawyers Association for International Human Rights  performed two investigative missions to Western Sahara, the first focused on the Tindouf refugee camps, and the second on conditions in Moroccan-controlled Western Sahara.The conclusion of the Tindouf mission states that ""the refugee camps in Algeria are highly organized and provide more than just the most basic needs to their inhabitants"" and that ""It appears that a significant effort is being made to ensure that the population is well-educated and that they participate in the governance of the camps."
