The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) welcomes the historic resolution adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on occupied Jerusalem on Thursday 21 December 2017. It described the resolution as a reflection of international consensus to support and affirm the national rights of the Palestinian people to the city and a rejection of any illegal attempt that could undermine the historical, legal and political status of Jerusalem as part of the occupied Palestinian territory.
The OIC Secretary General, Dr Yousef A. Al-Othaimeen, appreciated the principled positions of the overwhelming majority of the world’s countries that stood on the side of the truth and rule of international law, and united to achieve just and comprehensive peace pursuant to the two-state solution and international legitimacy resolutions.
He also reiterated the need for all states to respect and abide by the resolutions adopted by the Security Council and the General Assembly on the occupied city of Al-Quds (Jerusalem).
