The heads of states and governments of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) have condemned the aggressions against the missions of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in Tehran and Mashhad in Iran, which constitute a flagrant violation of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, and international law which guarantees the inviolability of diplomatic missions. The Conference rejected Iran's inflammatory statements on the execution of judicial decisions against the perpetrators of terrorist crimes in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, considering those statements a blatant interference in the internal affairs of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and a contravention of the United Nations Charter, the OIC Charter and of all international covenants. The Conference also deplored Iran's interference in the internal affairs of the States of the region and other Member States including Bahrain, Yemen, Syria, and Somalia, and its continued support for terrorism. The Conference underscored the need to shun the sectarian and denominational agenda as it carries destructive impacts and serious repercussions for Member States' security and stability and for international peace and security. It stressed the importance of reinforcing relations of good neighborliness among the Member States for the good interest of peoples, consistent with the OIC Charter. This came in the final communique of the 13th Islamic Summit titled "Unity and Solidarity for Justice and Peace" concluded here today in Istanbul, Republic of Turkey. --More
