Agenda item 31
Cooperation between the United Nations and the Organization of the Islamic Conference
(a) Report of the Secretary-General (A/49/465)
(b) Draft resolution (A/49/L.23)
Mr. Khan (Pakistan)
In its capacity as the current Chairman of the Islamic Conference of Foreign Ministers, Pakistan has the honour of introducing, on behalf of the members of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC), the draft resolution entitled "Cooperation between the United Nations and the Organization of the Islamic Conference", which is contained in document A/49/L.23 of 11 November 1994. The objective of this draft resolution is to further reinforce the extremely useful cooperation that already exists in a number of fields between the OIC and the United Nations and its specialized agencies.
We are most grateful to the Secretary-General for his comprehensive report (A/49/465) on the state of co-operation between the United Nations and the Organization of the Islamic Conference.
Ever since its establishment, the Organization of the Islamic Conference has remained unwavering in its commitment to the purposes and principles of the United Nations Charter. The Charter of the OIC explicitly reaffirms that organization's commitment to the United Nations Charter and to fundamental human rights. It also stresses the determination of OIC members to contribute to the attainment of progress, freedom and justice throughout the world by promoting global peace and security. We therefore regard it as imperative that the two organizations continue to extend cooperation with a view to achieving the common objectives of the preservation of peace and security and the promotion of social and economic development.
In pursuit of its aims and objectives, and also to supplement the efforts of the United Nations in important areas of common concern, the Organization of the Islamic Conference, at all its meetings at both ministerial and summit levels, has adopted numerous resolutions on important global issues. These have included resolutions in the fields of disarmament, decolonization, the exercise of the right of self-determination, international peace and security, human rights and economic and technological development.
The Conference has also taken a number of initiatives to end hostilities and is prepared to contribute in tangible terms to that end. In this context, I should like to mention that, at its ministerial meeting in Islamabad in April of last year, the OIC offered more than 20,000 troops for peace-keeping duties with the United Nations Protection Force (UNPROFOR) in the former Yugoslavia. A number of UNPROFOR contingents belong to OIC countries.
Since obtaining observer status in 1975 the OIC has had a high degree of cooperation with the United Nations. The United Nations Secretary-General or his representatives have participated in all OIC ministerial conferences and summit meetings. Our organization highly appreciates the consistent efforts of the United Nations Secretary-General to widen the scope of the existing cooperation between our two organizations.
The draft resolution that I have the honour of introducing is identical to resolutions adopted under the same agenda item at earlier sessions of the General Assembly.
The preamble of the draft resolution takes into account the desire of both organizations to cooperate more closely in their common search for resolution of global problems. It recalls the relevant articles of the Charter of the United Nations and encourages the activities through regional cooperation to promote the purposes and principles of the United Nations. It recognizes the need for closer cooperation between the specialized agencies of both organizations for the implementation of mutually agreed proposals. It notes and welcomes the important meeting held with the purpose of furthering cooperation between the two organizations.
In its operative paragraphs, the General Assembly, inter alia, expresses its appreciation to the United Nations Secretary-General for his continued efforts to strengthen cooperation and coordination between the two organizations for the advancement of their mutual interests in the political, economic, social and cultural fields. The Secretaries-General of both organizations are requested to continue their encouragement to convene sectoral meetings in the priority areas of cooperation.
The draft resolution also calls upon the General Assembly to request both our organizations to continue cooperation in their common search for solutions to global problems in a wide range of fields. It encourages the specialized agencies and other organs of the United Nations system to continue and broaden their cooperation with the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC). It urges the United Nations to provide technical and other forms of assistance to the OIC. It decides to include in the provisional agenda of the fiftieth session of the General Assembly the item entitled "Cooperation between the United Nations and the Organization of the Islamic Conference." The Secretary-General of the United Nations is requested to report to the fiftieth session on the state of cooperation between the United Nations and the OIC.
On behalf of the States members of the Organization of the Islamic Conference, I would request the members of the Assembly to support the draft resolution and to facilitate its adoption by consensus, as has been the case in previous years.
The President
In accordance with General Assembly resolution 3369 (XXX), adopted on 10 October 1975, I now call upon the Observer for the Organization of the Islamic Conference.
Mr. Ansay (Organization of the Islamic Conference)
