  2. “Since the Geneva meeting, the diplomatic efforts of the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the OIC Contact Group, aimed at finding a viable solution to the crisis in Kosovo, have been intense and have led to the Contact Group's support of the resolution just adopted by the Council - a resolution initiated by the Permanent Representatives of Bahrain and Malaysia and presented to the Council by the Permanent Representative of Gambia, all members of the OIC. The resolution addresses, in particular, the humanitarian aspect of the crisis in Kosovo, which is of crucial concern at this time. By its nature, the resolution allows the Security Council to act in unity and without controversy, which may otherwise have posed possible constraints on its ability to act quickly in the matter in fulfilment of its responsibilities at this grave moment.”

  3. “It reiterated that the Security Council has the primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security, and that in carrying out its duties in accordance with this responsibility, the Council shall be looked upon to act on behalf of the Members of the United Nations. The ministers expressed their solidarity with the Kosovars in their present hour of need and, among other things, undertook to contribute to the monitoring and peacekeeping operations in Kosovo as part of the international peacekeeping efforts.”

  4. “Regrettably, the Bosnian experience has failed to teach the Serbs an important lesson of history, which is that when a nation tries to keep another in the ditch, it does so by also staying with it in the ditch. It is relevant to remind this Council that the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) Contact Group on Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosova, meeting at the level of Ministers of Foreign Affairs in Geneva last month, regretted that the Security Council has been unable to discharge its responsibility in Kosovo in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations.”

  5. “On behalf of Ambassador Mokhtar Lamani, Permanent Observer of the Organization of the Islamic Conference to the United Nations, who is unavoidably absent from here at this time, I take the floor to express our serious concern over the crisis in Kosovo and the harm and suffering this has unleashed upon the innocent people of Kosovo. Since the arbitrary termination of the autonomy of Kosovo by the Belgrade authorities in 1989, we, together with the international community, have watched with great distress the Serbian acts of atrocities against the innocent and hard-working people of Kosovo and the campaigns of ethnic cleansing that have been reminiscent of the preceding sinister acts against the population of Bosnia and Herzegovina that were also committed by the Serbs.”
