In a landmark move OIC vowed to challenge Israel’s nuclear ambiguity at the UN and spotlight the struggles of Muslim communities worldwide
1. Unified Nuclear Initiative Against Israel
The OIC resolved to launch a coordinated diplomatic campaign at the UN to bring Israel’s undeclared nuclear weapons under International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspections.
The initiative calls for compelling Israel to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and end its policy of nuclear ambiguity.
The decision, taken during a closed-door meeting initiated by Iran, reflects a rare consensus and a bold shift in OIC strategy, targeting “Israel’s nuclear exceptionalism.”
2. Türkiye’s OIC Presidency Prioritises Muslim Minorities
Upon assuming the OIC chair, Türkiye announced a global advocacy agenda focused on the rights, dignity, and recognition of Muslim minorities and diaspora communities facing marginalisation or discrimination.
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan pledged solidarity with oppressed Muslim populations and committed to keeping their issues at the forefront.
3. Vocal Support for Marginalised Muslim Communities
Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan reinforced Erdoğan’s message, vowing to use Türkiye’s term to amplify the voices of marginalised Muslim groups and work towards global justice.
4. Organisational Reforms within the OIC
President Erdoğan called for greater efficiency and reform within the OIC, referring to it as the second-largest multilateral body after the UN.
He outlined plans to transform the organisation into an engine for economic, social, and political development in the Muslim world.
5. Vision for a Multipolar World Order
Erdoğan stressed the need for the OIC to act as a central pillar in a multipolar world, capable of generating solutions to global challenges like conflict, poverty, inequality, and climate change.
6. Combating Islamophobia as a Core Priority
The OIC pledged to intensify efforts to fight Islamophobia worldwide, calling for unity in defending Muslim dignity and challenging anti-Muslim rhetoric and violence.
7. Strengthening Ties with Global Peace Initiatives
The OIC announced its intent to collaborate with the UN Alliance of Civilizations, inviting its High Representative Miguel Ángel Moratinos to the conference.
Turkish Presidential Advisor Akif Çağatay Kılıç was appointed to coordinate OIC’s alignment with global dialogue and peace frameworks.
