  1. “The Organization of the Islamic Conference is deeply concerned, frustrated and angered over the situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In an extraordinary Ministerial Meeting of the OIC Contact Group on Bosnia and Herzegovina held in Geneva on 17 January last, the OIC Ministers stressed that if the peace process is to have any success and legitimacy, it must ensure the following: the independence, territorial integrity, sovereignty and unity of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina; a geographically and economically viable and defensible territory for the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina; that the Serbs be compelled to return all lands seized by the use of force and "ethnic cleansing"; that the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina retain its sovereign exit to the Sava River and the Adriatic Sea; that ) Sarajevo remain the undivided capital of Bosnia, as a symbol of unity, tolerance and integration; the return of refugees and displaced persons to their homes; and international guarantees for the implementation of a peace agreement and guarantees for future security.”

  2. “In his statement regarding this tragedy, the Secretary-General of the OIC, His Excellency Mr. Algabid, in his statement regarding this tragedy, strongly condemned this murderous act by the Serbian gunners, which is in open defiance of the relevant Security Council resolutions and in outrageous disregard for all norms of humanity and civility. Only two days before this crime was committed, two Heads of Government from OIC Members States - two lady Prime Ministers, Mrs. Bhutto from Pakistan and Mrs. Ciller from Turkey - had courageously visited Sarajevo to demonstrate their solidarity with the innocent Bosnian victims and had called upon the international community to finally do something to preserve the sovereignty, unity, territorial integrity and political independence of Bosnia and to reverse the consequences of "ethnic cleansing".”

  3. “On 5 February, another dark, tragic day for the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the world saw 68 innocent people murdered and 197 injured during the shelling of the market-place of Sarajevo, the capital city of a fully-fledged, sovereign Member of the United Nations. This latest terrorist act of genocide, which was committed in cold blood by the Serbian gunners surrounding the city, has brought the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina to a point of such desperation that they feel as if they are all condemned to death. The Governments and the peoples of the Member States of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) express their heartfelt anguish, condolences and sympathy to the Government and the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the bereaved families, ) while condemning this heinous crime in the strongest possible terms.”

  4. “Mr. ANSAY: At the outset, I should like to extend to you, Sir, my warmest congratulations on your assumption of the presidency of the Security Council during this difficult period. I am confident, and privileged to know, that your vast experience and professional skills will serve you well in advancing the work of the Council under your able guidance. I should like to take this opportunity to thank your predecessor, the Permanent Representative of the Czech Republic, Ambassador Kovanda, for his able performance in steering the work of the Council during the month of January.”

  5. “This is required by the military arrangements of the Vance-Owen plan, which was one of the documents agreed by all the parties. The non-aligned members of the Security Council have already strongly endorsed this plan and have drafted a Security Council resolution that authorizes further appropriate measures to take control or otherwise neutralize the heavy weapons, In conclusion, the Organization of the Islamic Conference once again submits to the Council this tragic humanitarian case, which will probably have unprecedented repercussions if not tackled in a swift, adequate and effective manner. We expect and plead for concrete action, without further delay, in the form of precise measures to which I and several other speakers have referred in our interventions.”

  6. “course of events calls for vigorous and determined action on the part of the Security Council if the objective is really to prevent the annihilation of hundreds of thousands of Muslims and to stop the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, The OIC, in accordance with the will of the overwhelming majority of the international community as reflected in General Assembly resolution 47/121, calls for the immediate lifting of the iniquitous arms embargo imposed against Bosnia and Herzegovina and the adoption of effective military measures under the aegis of the Security Council to bring the Serbian aggression to an end, These include, inter alia, that the United Nations should interdict the supply lines bringing weapons and troops from Serbia and Montenegro and proceed to mandate that all heavy weapons be placed under the control of the international community.”

  7. “We had hoped that those who had opposed effective action by the Security Council in the face of the criminal aggression of which Bosnia and Herzegovina is a victim, and counted on latent Serbian pacifism, would realize today the error and futility of their approach. The question before the Council today is no longer one of acting with a view to isolating Serbia or decreeing new economic sanctions against it, as resolution 820 (1993) does. The tragic .”

  8. “Today, while genocide and "ethnic cleansing" continue unabated, while mosques and Catholic churches are razed and civilians are forced to flee under the threat of death, while concentration camps continue to operate, with new G@etainees delivered all the time, while scores of Bosnian cities are being subjected to ferocious bombing by the Serb forces, while thousands of Muslims are being massacred and women are being raped, these same countries cite the holding of the referendum in another country as a sufficient reason to prevent the Security Council from taking measures required by such a situation for safeguarding international peace and security. The Islamic world cannot and will no longer accept such a scandalous conception of international legality and of the role of the Security Council.”

  9. “We also noted that certain permanent members have, one after the other, invoked the complexities on the ground, the dangers of the conflict's spilling over, and of bloodshed on a larger scale, to prevent the Security Council from taking vigorous action to bring the Serbian aggression against Bosnia and Herzegovina to an end.”

  10. “For the OIC, the fall of Srebrenica, designated as a Muslim province under the Vance-Owen plan, will sound the death knell of the ongoing peace efforts in respect of Bosnia and Herzegovina under the auspices of the United Nations and the European Community. We firmly believe that these tragic events constitute an affront to the authority of the United Nations and compel a reassessment of the relevance and efficacy of the principle of collective security on which the founding fathers. - of the United Nations pinned their hopes for constructing a world free from the scourge of aggression.”

  11. “Had they been adopted much earlier, they might have served a good cause. The Secretary-General of the OIC has expressed the anguish, indignation and shock of the Islamic world over the feeble response of the Security Council to the continued siege and criminal bombing by the Serbian forces of Srebrenica, which is about to fall or be "ethnically cleansed". The Secretary-General of the OIC strongly deplored the fact that efforts made by the Islamic Group at the United Nations in New York to put an end to the Serbian aggression have been rendered futile so far by the prevarication and shirking of responsibility by some States, permanent members of the Security Council, whose attitude has prevented the Council from taking adequate appropriate measures in time to stop the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina.”

  12. “In my intervention before the General Assembly last December, I gave a detailed account of all the efforts undertaken by the OIC, an active member of the Steering Committee of the International Conference on the Former Yugoslavia, concerning this tragic situation, which has been a source of e immense worry and sorrow to the Organization of the Islamic Conference from the very beginning. This time, I shall try to be brief and to focus on the bare essentials which are urgently required to remedy, if that is even possible at this point, the plight of the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Secretary-General of the Organization of the Islamic Conference regards Security Council resolutions 819 (1993) and 820 (1993) on Srebrenica and the economic sanctions adopted over the weekend as inadequate and insufficient.”

But equally valid are our feelings of solidarity and compassion with Libya and its people in the face of these disquieting prospects. Those concerns I am conveying to the Council are of those millions and millions of Muslims around the world who are, in this holy month of Ramadan, praying for peace, love and justice for all peoples and nations. We firmly believe that this issue could indeed be resolved peaceflly on the basis of respect for international legality.”

  19. “We are deeply concerned about the prospects of the Security Council's considering action against Libya under Chapter VII of the Charter. We understand that the draft resolution presented by some permanent members is seeking to impose sanctions and an air embargo against Libya. That, indeed, besides being unjustifiable given Libya's readiness to cooperate, would certainly be construed by many as a high-handed approach. I feel it my duty to convey to the members of the Council our concerns about the imposition of sanctions against Libya. We are convinced that such a course of action will not help resolve the issue but will unfortunately and uselessly increase tension among members of the international community.”

Moreover, the Government of Libya has responded positively to all initiatives for finding a just and peaceful solution to this issue. Several countries and international organizations have urged the Governments of the United States, the United Kingdom and France to exercise restraint and to eschew a confrontational course, which could seriously impinge upon the peace and security of the region. In view of the above, we were confident that this crisis coulda be resolved peacefully without any resort to punitive actions or measures against Libya.”

The Summit reaffirmed its full solidarity with Libya and called for averting any economic or military action against it. In order to help to clarify the situation to the satisfaction of all concerned, we have been in touch with the Libyan authoriteis at the highest level. The Government of Libya has not only given its firm assurances to cooperate in the matter but has also taken steps in this direction.”

The Sixth Islamic Summit held last December at Dakar reaffirmed the unflinching determination of the States members of our Organization to cooperate sincerely to this effect with the international community in respect of international legality.”

  23. “Mr. ANSAY: Thank you, Mr. President, for giving me the opportunity to address this body for the second time this month. The Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) has been following with increasing concern the accentuation of the crisis resulting from allegations implicating Libya in the explosion of Pan AM and UTA flights over Lockerbie and Niger, respectively. Those concerns were conveyed, through Your Excellency, to the members of the Security Council by myself and by Ambassador Abdourahamane Hama, the Special Envoy of His Excellency Dr. Hamid Algabid, Secretary-General of the OIC, who visited New York earlier this month. I am indeed grateful to you for receiving the Special Envoy and for your deep understanding of the OIC's point of view regarding this matter.”

By the same token, the Organization of the Islamic Conference fully supports the draft resolution. In conclusion, I should like once again to thank Mr. Boutros Boutros-Ghali, the Secretary-General, for having provided us with this opportunity to concert and coordinate our efforts with those of the United Nations for the cause of peace in Somalia.”

  25. “Effective relief work commensurate with the grave magnitude of the problem requires that urgent consideration be given to creating appropriate conditions for the disbursement of humanitarian assistance to all parts of Somalia. It is important that the physical safety of those who are engaged in this noble endeavour be assured. For this purpose, we suggest that serious consideration be given to establishing zones of peace in various parts of Somalia. In the light of those considerations, the Organization of the Islamic Conference warmly welcomes the excellent report by the Secretary-General which has just come out, and most sincerely commends Under-Secretary-General James Jonah for his brilliant catalytic role and fruitful efforts in the pursuance of a just and durable peace in Somalia.”

The Organization of the Islamic Conference deeply appreciates the measures taken by Mr. Boutros Boutros-Ghali, the Secretary-General, to mobilize humanitarian assistance for the Somali people. The Organization of the Islamic Conference will be happy to coordinate its efforts with those of the United Nations in the field of humanitarian assistance.”

  27. “The search for a just and durable solution to the Somali crisis could best be pursued by initiating a serious intra-Somali dialogue between all Somali political groups, taking into account the complex tribal complexion of the Somali political scene and respecting the Somali traditions. The most important, and perhaps the only, unifying element which transcends the tribal and clannish diversity in Somalia is the Islamic faith of the Somali people. It could provide them with a real and true basis for overcoming their parochial interests and Living in brotherhood and harmony with each other.”

  28. “In this spirit, the Organization of the Islamic Conference actively participated in the New York talks from 12 to 14 February 1992 and took part in the joint United Nations/Organization of the Islamic Conference/Organization of African Unity/League of Arab States delegation which visited Mogadiscio to consult with the Somali factions on ways and means to conclude a cease-fire agreement and pave the way for a peaceful solution to the problem of Somalia. The successful crowning of that mission was unfortunately shadowed later by the resurgence of fighting. It is therefore important that enforcement, monitoring and observance of the cease-fire agreement be ensured by a peace-keeping force in Somalia.”

  29. “In the absence of institutions of State power, which characterizes the current situation in Somalia, it would be futile to expect that any cease-fire arrangement confined to Mogadiscio would hold for the other parts of the country. However, we recognize the urgent need to take steps to stop the fighting in Mogadiscio and would strongly urge the parties concerned to comply with the resolutions of the Security Council and the Organization of the Islamic Conference. For its part, the Organization of the Islamic Conference is ready to assist in any manner deemed appropriate in arranging a comprehensive and durable cease-fire agreement. In this connection, the Organization of the Islamic Conference is concerting its efforts with those of the United Nations to help the people of Somalia overcome their present hardships and difficulties.”

  30. “The Organization of the Islamic Conference member States at the highest level have affirmed their commitment to the restoration and preservation of the unity, sovereignty, territorial integrity and political independence of Somalia. In view of the dangers inherent in the present situation in Somalia, it is necessary that the international community as a whole reiterate its commitment to these principles. As far as the issue of establishing a durable cease-fire agreement is concerned, we are of the view that a comprehensive cease-fire agreement covering all parts of Somalia, and not merely the capital and its adjacent areas, is of vital importance. This would require obtaining the unequivocal commitment of all Somali political groups.”

  31. “Eruption of violence, especially in the Mogadiscio area, has caused death and destruction on a large scale. It is important to identify the main impediments to the implementation of the decisions taken in Djibouti. It is also necessary fully to analyse the root causes of the intra-tribal conflict so as to find a just, durable and equitable solution. The principles and parameters which should govern the actions of the United Nations and other international and regional organizations to achieve a political solution to the Somali crisis should be clearly enunciated and translated into a comprehensive and coherent policy framework for the joint . pursuit of peace in Somalia.”

The Organization of the Islamic Conference welcomed the adoption of Security Council resolution 733 (1992) on Somalia. In an official statement the Secretary-General extended the full support of the Organization of the Islamic Conference to the call of the Security Council to all parties to cease hostilities, which is an essential prerequisite for addressing seriously all other aspects of the problem. Hopes for peace in Somalia raised by the Djibouti round of consultations were, unfortunately, short lived.”

President Abdou Diouf undertook the required consultations and brought the contents of this resolution of the Sixth Islamic Summit to the attention of the United Nations.”
