Member states of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) have reaffirmed their support for the ongoing case at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), which seeks to pave the way for a permanent resolution to the Rohingya crisis. They expressed hope that this case would play a crucial role in ensuring justice and accountability for the human rights violations committed against the Rohingya people.
This support was reiterated during a meeting of the OIC’s Ministerial Ad Hoc Committee on Accountability for Human Rights Violations against the Rohingya—held on the sidelines of the 52nd session of the OIC Council of Foreign Ministers (CFM) in Baghdad, Iraq.
Speaking at the meeting, State Minister for Foreign Affairs Md. Humayun Kabir—who led the Bangladeshi delegation and serves as a co-chair of the Ministerial Ad Hoc Committee—urged OIC member states to play a collective and proactive role in resolving the Rohingya crisis.
Describing the Rohingya crisis as a major challenge for the entire Muslim Ummah, he emphasized the need for coordinated efforts in providing humanitarian assistance and pursuing legal action to address the situation.
The State Minister also highlighted the five-point action plan presented by the Honorable Prime Minister of Bangladesh at the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly. He called for urgent and effective measures to resolve the Rohingya crisis in line with this plan, placing particular emphasis on establishing justice through legal frameworks and ensuring accountability for those responsible.
