OIC Executive Committee Holds Meeting on the Syrian Refugee Crisis
Published in Saudi Press Agency on 13 - 09 - 2015

AlQa'dah 29, 1436, Sep 13, 2015, SPA -- The Executive Committee at the level of Permanent Representatives held here today a meeting to discuss the dramatic escalation of the tragedy of the Syrian refugees in the region and beyond.
OIC Secretary General Iyad Madani delivered a statement on the grave situation in Syria and the humanitarian conditions plaguing the Syrian refugees and IDPs, after which the Chairs of the OIC Summit and CFM made a statements followed by interventions by representatives of the Member States.
The meeting reiterated that the root causes of the humanitarian crises facing the Syrian people is the war crimes committed by the regime in Syria.
The meeting voiced its grave concern over the continuing political instability and chaos in Syria and its resultant humanitarian disaster which lies at the root of the increasing current mass exodus of the huge number of Syrians out of their crisis-ridden nation in search for refugee status in countries of the region and beyond. In this context, it called on the international community, particularly the UNSC, to renew, as a matter of urgency, the pursuit of rapid political solutions to the Syrian conflict. It also urged all the parties in Syria to rededicate themselves to this goal as a way of mitigating the impact of the escalating humanitarian catastrophe.
The meeting called for an immediate need to fully implement the Geneva Communiqué and establish a transitional government with full executive power that would allow building a new Syrian State based on a pluralistic, democratic, and civilian system grounded in the rule of law, equality before the law, and respect for human rights. It noted that the implication of the mass displacement of Syrians both internally and internationally has become a factor of instability in the region and beyond. In this context, the meeting called upon the UNSC to act urgently by considering the creation of a multi-dimensional UN peace- keeping operation in Syria as a prelude to restoring security and stability in the country.
