  1. “In conclusion, I wish to reaffirm the full support and solidarity of the OIC with the Palestinian people in their endeavour to regain their legitimate and inalienable national rights, including their rights of return, self-determination and to establish their independent Palestinian State on their national soil, with East Jerusalem as its capital.”

  2. “The OIC also joins the international community's stance reaffirming that all measures and actions taken or to be taken by Israel, the occupying Power, to alter the legal, physical and demographic status of the occupied Syrian Golan and its institutional structures, as well as Israeli measures to impose its jurisdiction and administration there, are null and void and have no legal effect. The OIC demands that Israel abide fully and immediately by resolution 497 (1981) and withdraw completely from the occupied Syrian Golan to the lines of 4 June 1967, in implementation of resolutions 242 (1967) and 338 (1973), as well as from the remaining Lebanese occupied land.”

  3. “Every effort must be exerted by the Security Council as well as by the Quartet, in the light of its declared commitment to fulfil the collective legal and moral responsibilities relevant to the realization of peace, justice and security in the region this year. At this crucial stage, there must also be acknowledgement of, and continued full support for, Palestinian State-building efforts, which are advancing successfully. Since, regrettably, the peace process remains in a sate of stagnation, the time is ripe to recognize the independent State of Palestine based on the 1967 borders, as that is the cornerstone for achieving stability, prosperity, peace and security for Palestine, Israel and other neighbouring countries in the region.”

  4. “We affirm that the resolution of the entire Middle East conflict is dependent on solving its core issue, which is the Palestinian question. The international consensus to realize the vision of two States requires a clear stance based on international legitimacy and justice. There must be full acknowledgement of, and respect for, the historic commitments and pledges made in that regard, as embodied in the terms of reference of the peace process, namely, the relevant United Nations resolutions, the Madrid terms of reference, including the principle of land for peace, the Arab Peace Initiative, to which the OIC subscribes, and the Quartet Road Map.”

  5. “These violations are most intense and aggressive in occupied East Jerusalem, where Israel also continues a systematic process to alter the historic Palestinian-Arab-Islamic identity of Al-Quds Al-Sharif through its flagrant attempts to Judaize the city by changing its demographic composition and character. Today, the OIC group reaffirms the centrality of the cause of Al-Quds Al-Sharif for the entire Islamic Ummah and stresses the Palestinian, Arab and Islamic nature of occupied East Jerusalem and the need for full respect for the sanctity of Islamic and Christian holy places in the city. The OIC group also reaffirms that Al-Quds Al-Sharif remains an integral part of the Palestinian territory occupied by Israel since 1967, and that its illegal annexation by Israel continues to be rejected and unrecognized by the international community.”

  6. “In this regard, the OIC group continues to call for serious follow-up to the findings and recommendations of the investigations of the United Nations Fact-Finding Mission on the Gaza Conflict as an essential step to ensuring justice and accountability and averting further human rights violations in the occupied Palestinian territory by Israel, the occupying Power. In the West Bank, Israel continues its illegal settlement construction, home demolitions, violent military raids, movement restrictions and land confiscation, imposing hundreds of checkpoints and detaining thousands of Palestinians. It also continues to build the annexation wall, in clear violation of international law and the legal authority of the advisory opinion (see A/ES-10/273) of the International Court of Justice.”

  7. “Despite resolution 1860 (2009), of 8 January 2009, Israel, the occupying Power, continues its military aggression against the Gaza Strip. The illegal Israeli blockade remains in force, thereby continuing to affect the lives of the entire Palestinian civilian population of Gaza - preventing their access to humanitarian aid and basic materials; impeding reconstruction, including by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East and the United Nations Development Programme, of the thousands of destroyed homes and infrastructure; and obstructing economic and social recovery.”

  8. “The OIC group remains firm in its conviction that the Security Council must not be absolved of its role in this regard and should act forthwith to ensure the realization by the Palestinian people of their right to self-determination, sovereignty and independence in their State of Palestine in the territory occupied since 1967, with East Jerusalem as its capital, including a just solution for the plight of the Palestine refugees in line with United Nations resolutions and international law. Our debate today acquires extraordinary importance, given that it coincides with the difficult situation that millions of Palestinians in the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem, continue to endure.”

  9. “I have the pleasure to deliver the following statement on behalf of the members of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) in Tajikistan's capacity as Chair of the OIC group. At the outset, I would like to thank Mr. Lynn Pascoe, Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs, for his briefing. I also would like to express our deep appreciation to the Colombian presidency of the Security Council for the convening of this timely meeting and for giving the OIC group the opportunity to address the Council. The Palestinian question remains a top priority and a challenge for the entire international community. The implementation and fulfilment of our collective political commitments, resolutions and pledges on this issue have been pending for more than half a century.”

  10. “In this important peacebuilding project, enormous responsibilities also lie on the shoulders of the Somalis themselves, and we must all strive individually and collectively to meet our part of the bargain satisfactorily. Let this meeting produce the desired fruitful outcome that will lay the ground for permanent peace in Somalia.”

  11. “I should like here to reiterate our unflinching solidarity with the good people of Somalia and to reassure them that the OIC will never abandon supporting their country. In this regard, I have the pleasure to announce that the OIC has opened a humanitarian affairs office in Somalia and signed an agreement with the World Food Programme and many international partners for the implementation of a comprehensive food security programme covering the south and centre of Somalia and the areas most affected. In its first stage, the programme will benefit around 400,000 citizens. Finally, as we strive to retain the confidence of the Somalis, the international community must be seen to deliver on its promises, as stabilizing Somalia is an invaluable investment in global peace with respect to which we cannot afford to waver or compromise.”

  12. “The international community must encourage the Government to promote dialogue and reconciliation with the groups that renounce violence and join the peace process. However, we must also demonstrate a strong resolve to confront as well as defeat the spoilers and enemies of peace and progress. I urge participants in this meeting to send a strong and clear message to them that terrorist activities and violence will not pay and will never be rewarded. As we all know, security and development are mutually reinforcing. The Somalis need to be given hope through rehabilitation, reconstruction and economic development in order to make their lives more meaningful and worth living. To achieve this goal, the current Somali Government requires massive international support to build a viable economic base and institutions.”

  13. “As a practical commitment to Somalia, the OIC also hosted the sixteenth session of the International Contact Group on Somalia in Jeddah. Unfortunately, the violence and terrorist attacks by extremist militant groups seeking to overthrow the internationally recognized Transitional Federal Government have not abated, thereby compounding the already dire humanitarian situation in Somalia. It is our hope that with the appointment of the new Prime Minister and his government, the Transitional Federal Government will remain focused on pursuing national reconciliation and will avoid any distraction in order to complete, through an inclusive process, the outstanding key tasks under the transition.”

  14. “Despite the renewed strong engagement by the OIC and, indeed, the larger international community, which produced the Djibouti Peace Agreement, currently under implementation, lasting peace has, sadly, continued to elude Somalia. A number of international conferences in which the OIC actively participated have been convened to demonstrate solidarity and support for the Transitional Federal Government, led by President Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed, but Somalia is still at a crossroads, and the security situation remains fragile. Considering the huge investment made so far in the Somalia project, it is therefore incumbent on all of us, as stakeholders, to continue to work together with the Government in order to protect and preserve our collective investment, in the interest of regional and international peace and security.”

  15. “The crisis in Somalia has permanently featured on the agenda of all OIC summits and conferences of Ministers for Foreign Affairs, including their annual coordination meetings in New York. The OIC has remained in close contact and worked in unison with the United Nations to find the necessary ways and means of restoring peace and security in Somalia. In the same vein, we wish specifically to pay high tribute to Mr. Augustine Mahiga, the Special Representative of the Secretary- General for Somalia, for his commendable role and outstanding performance directed at ensuring a tangible outcome to the efforts of all concerned to restore peace, security and stability in Somalia.”

  16. “I have the honour to make this statement on behalf of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) group. At the outset, we would like to thank the Secretary-General, Mr. Ban Ki-moon, and the Special Representative for Somalia of the Commission of the African Union, Mr. Boubacar Diarra, for their important briefings. We welcome the presence of the Prime Minister of the Transitional Federal Government of Somalia, Mr. Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed. We would like also to express our deep appreciation to the Chinese presidency of the Security Council for the convening of this timely meeting and for giving the OIC group the opportunity to address it. Since the beginning of the conflict in Somalia nearly two decades ago, the OIC has always given top priority to the situation in that country, which is a founding State Member of the Organization.”
