The Conference remained ready to play a proactive role in assisting Governments to foster policies and programmes for resolving conflict, he stressed, and to establish an environment of durable peace in the world.  At the thirty-first session of the Islamic Conference of Foreign Ministers, and at the tenth session of the Islamic Summit Conference, Conference members had been called upon to make every effort to prevent conflicts, which could generate exoduses of refugees.  It had been decided to convene a Ministerial Conference on the issue of refugees, in coordination with the UNHCR.  Reiterating the plight of refugees from occupied Palestinian and Arab territories, as well as in the disputed territory of Jammu and Kashmir, he stressed the continued need for the international community to undertake efforts to de-escalate tensions in those regions and to secure the peoples’ inalienable national rights, including the right to return.<\/p><\/div>\n
