OIC asks for a seat for the Muslim world on the UNSC

The Secretary-General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation argued the Muslim world has rallied around the OIC and taken a single position on international matters, turning the OIC into an important instrument for Muslim countries.

The Secretary-General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Ekmeleddin İhsanoğlu said that there must be a seat for allocated for the OIC in the UN Security Council (UNSC). Talking to Today's Zaman as he is getting ready to leave the Presidency of the OIC at the end of this year after serving for nine years, İhsanoğlu evaluated the current status of the organization that has 57 member states and is the largest international organization after the UN.

İhsanoğlu argued that for the first time, the Muslim world has rallied around the OIC and taken a single position on international matters, turning the OIC into an important instrument for Muslim countries. He described this ability to act collectively as the biggest success of the OIC since he became the president of the OIC in 2005, which was called then the Organization of Islamic Conference.

“The most important thing is that the Muslim world came together for the first time and reacted to international issues. This turned the OIC into a global actor,” İhsanoğlu stated. According to him, the visits of figures like UN Secretary-General Ban-Ki Moon, Prince Charles of Wales and former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the attendance of EU High Representative Catherine Ashton at OIC meetings are all indicators of the increasing significance of the organization.

Stating bold goals and priorities for the organization, İhsanoğlu aims to gain a status for the OIC in the UN. “The EU has a status in the UN which gives it the authority to speak on behalf of the EU members. We should strive for a similar status for the OIC,” İhsanoğlu says.

Explaining his further goals to Today's Zaman, İhsanoğlu says that since the first day he came to office he has targeted a seat for the OIC on the UNSC. He points out that in addition to Western countries, Russia and China are represented on the UNSC, but the Muslim world has no representation.

İhsanoğlu says that he has always suggested that there be a permanent seat for the OIC to represent the Muslim world at UN reform negotiations. Projecting the status of OIC as a “plus one” to the five permanent members, İhsanoğlu adds that the status and the rights of the OIC could be negotiated.
