  1. “This jubilant development is a reflection of the overwhelming majority of the international community in support of the just cause and inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, without which radicalization, frustration, humiliation and the sense of historic betrayal will remain deep in the conscious of the region and its people.”

  2. “They address also the underlying causes of sectarian violence, the attempts to politicize the sectarian differences and to put undue emphasis on sects as the essence of identity - and also to always remember and consider, in the history of all movements, whether liberation movements or others, the potential of external actors penetrating terrorist and extremist groups for the purpose of serving their own political agendas. Today is the day that finally the flag of Palestine flies high at the United Nations premises.”

  3. “Instead of taking custody of the region, we must address the multifaceted dimensions of its conflicts, listen to its people and remember the hardship, the recent history that led to what we have now in Iraq, Syria and Libya. Within that context, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation has initiated, is initiating and will continue to initiate specific projects that focus on such understanding in order to address the political and socioeconomic contexts that bring forth conditions conducive to conflict and the need to counter all types of radical extremist discourse in order to delegitimize the Violent and manipulative acts, whether they be based on ideology or claims of cultural superiority.”

  4. “Those who see Islam as the source of division and violence and search for a core a structure within Islam that lead Muslims, just because they are Muslims, to division and violence, simply ignore history and the story of the great Muslim civilization. They also overlook a century full of wars and ethnic conflicts and alienation, which we all carry as a heavy inheritance of humankind where Muslims have been mostly the victims. Also, those who make the assumption that this region is self-destructive by nature gloss over the great games or interests that play on the stage of the region, a region that has rarely been left alone to develop and mature and create its own institutions.”

  5. “The paralysis in the region, the absence of a paradigm among its countries for peaceful coexistence and the intellectual malaise that took over a Muslim world intent on regurgitating, instead of reinvigorating, its traditions, cultural expressions and intellectual discourse, coupled with the absence of international collective political will to tackle the conflicts in the Middle East, and what seems to be, if the members allow me to say, chronic divisions within the Council, have allowed such menaces in the region to continue and reach the proportions we are here to contemplate today. Therefore, where should we look for a way out?”

  6. “The remnants of colonialism, ill-conceived Cold War strategies, letting the Palestinian people suffer the consequences of an unjust and illegal occupation, and the invasion of Iraq, which devastated the social fabric of the country with dangerous regional fallouts, all created a climate whereby the region is unable to invest in human capital. Millions of Iraqis sought haven andjobs outside of Iraq long before we heard of Daesh. The region's resources have been spent on the purchase of arms, to the great satisfaction of those trotting the globe on behalf of the arms industries.”

  7. “As a committed and strategic partner of the United Nations system and of the international community, the OIC exerts every possible effort to bring remedies to the intertwined and daunting challenges the Middle East and North Africa region faces. We sincerely believe that, while we assume responsibility as the international community to provide solutions and remedies, we can only be on a better footing if we can honestly and properly diagnose the historical backgrounds, roots causes and dynamics that have brought about all the disasters and failures that we have to deal with today. We must analyse whether the international and regional peace and security mechanisms are capable of overcoming today's hurdles.”

  8. “Mr. Madani: It is indeed a privilege to have this opportunity to speak to this body. I wish to thank the Russian Federation for scheduling this important and timely open debate during its presidency ofthe Security Council, in conjunction with the high-level segment of the General Assembly, on the settlement of conflicts in the Middle East and North Africa and countering terrorist threat in the region. At the outset, let me align myself, as Secretary- General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), with the statement delivered by His Excellency Sheikh Sabah Khalid Al Hamad Al Sabah, First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs of the State of Kuwait, in Kuwait's capacity as the Chair of the OIC Ministerial Council.”
