Islamic World Leaders Urged to Consolidate Islamic Cooperation
The Islamic Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (ISESCO) called on the Member States to bolster their efforts to promote Islamic solidarity, consolidate cooperation among themselves, and embody the OIC principles in the living reality of the Islamic people.
It also underlined the importance of reconciling differences, overcoming difficulties, respecting the sovereignty of the states, and advancing the interests of the Islamic world over the personal, immediate interests which do not empower nor immunize the Ummah against the challenges it faces.
In a statement to the Islamic world on the occasion of the 12th session of the Islamic Summit Conference, which is underway in Cairo on 6-7 February 2013, ISESCO highlighted the importance of unity and joint Islamic action to deal with and scientifically address the economic and social problems impeding the efforts of sustainable development, and settle the crises among some Member States, within a framework of joint cooperation, so as to meet the legitimate claims of the Islamic peoples to freedom, dignity, social justice and respect for human rights.
In the same vein, ISESCO emphasized that the bad economic and social conditions as well as the low educational, scientific and cultural development indexes in a number of Member States, undermine stability, threaten social peace, and provoke political crises, which can aggravate if the firm political will to handle them with wisdom, transparency and responsibility is not available. By the same token, it called upon the Member States to foster cooperation and partnership among themselves in the economic and social fields, and exchange expertise to fight poverty, ignorance and diseases and achieve development.
Likewise, it called upon the leaders of the OIC Member States to make the 12th Islamic Summit Conference, which will be held in 2 days in Cairo, a new station to move towards the activation of the Ten-Year Program of Action to Meet the Challenges Facing the Muslim Ummah in the 21st Century, which was adopted by the Third Islamic Summit Conference (Makkah al-Mukarramah, 2005). In this connection, it underscored that the practical and comprehensive implementation of this program would allow the Member States to continue the achievement of MDGs, and would help remove the impediments to the development of the Islamic world in all fields.
Similarly, ISESCO underlined the importance of respecting the rights of the Islamic peoples, meeting their legitimate claims and allowing them to play their role in the development of their societies, in line with the principles of democracy and Shura (consultation), and within a framework of equality in terms of rights and obligations. It also expressed its hope that the 12th Islamic Summit Conference would meet the requirements for renovating the civilizational edification of the Islamic world on firm bases, through the balanced implementation of the resolutions of the successive Islamic Summit Conferences, including their resolutions on the sector-specific strategies, which ISESCO had developed to achieve the civilizational development in education, science, technology, innovation, culture, communication, the environment and childhood.
