CN Desk: The
Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) adopted a resolution on Jammu and
Kashmir during its 52nd Council of Foreign Ministers session in Baghdad.The
Kashmir resolution formed part of the session’s broader deliberations on
political issues affecting the Muslim world. The meeting brought together
member states on October 17–18, 2026. The session also addressed Palestine,
Muslim minorities and Islamophobia.The
two-day meeting was held under the theme, “Dialogue and Solidarity: Two
Essential Pillars for Promoting Peace and Sustainable Development.”OIC
Secretary-General Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed announced the session’s successful
conclusion. He thanked Iraq’s leadership, government and people for hosting the
meeting.The
session adopted the Baghdad Declaration and several resolutions. These
reaffirmed support for Palestinian rights and statehood, with Al-Quds as the
capital. Delegates also addressed political developments in member states and
the rights of Muslim communities.The
meeting further considered economic, social, humanitarian, cultural and
scientific matters. Its outcomes reflected a common position among
participating OIC member states.The
OIC secretary-general stressed the need to move beyond adopting resolutions. He
called for consensus on their implementation.For
Kashmir, the dispute remains unresolved despite longstanding international
attention. The United Nations has adopted resolutions envisaging a plebiscite to
determine the territory’s future. Kashmiris continue to seek their right to
self-determination under those resolutions.The
OIC has repeatedly included Jammu and Kashmir among the political issues
addressed by its member states. The Baghdad session’s Kashmir resolution again
places the dispute within the organisation’s deliberations.
