The Secretary General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Prof. Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu gave the keynote speech at the International Conference of the First International Model of the OIC (IMOIC) on July 12 at Sabanci University on the outskirts of Istanbul, Turkey. The conference is organized by the Islamic Conference Youth Forum for Dialogue and Cooperation (ICYF-DC), an affiliate institution of the OIC, and in coordination with the Turkish Foreign Ministry and the Center of Civilization Studies and Dialogue of Cultures (CCSDC) of Cairo University. The IMOIC aims to bring awareness of the work of OIC to Muslim students, who came from over 30 countries to participate in this first international conference of IMOIC. In his speech the Secretary General gave a general overview of the history, objectives and functions of the OIC. He highlighted in particular the Ten-Year Program of Action adopted in 2005 and what has been achieved so far in implementing it in various fields, the revised Charter endorsed in 2008, and the change of the name and logo of the OIC, which was adopted at the 38th Session of the Council of Foreign Ministers (CFM) in Astana, Kazakhstan on June 28-30, 2011. The 38th CFM also saw the birth of the Independent Permanent Human Rights Commission of the OIC. Ihsanoglu stressed to the students that the OIC now stands to be a viable organization in the new map of the world that is shaping up. Over the next five days the conference will offer training in three areas, namely, a study of OIC, its history, functions and philosophy; the agenda items of the OIC which touch on the hot current issues of the Muslim world; and a practical simulation of the OIC Council of Foreign Ministers. |
