21. Organizational structure of the OIC The OIC consists of : Islamic Summit Islamic conference of foreign ministers Secretary general Specialized institutions Affiliated institutions

22. Specialized Institutions The number of secondary organs and institutions working towards the achievements of the OIC objectives and cover various areas. Islamic development bank Islamic educational ,scientific and cultural organization Islamic states broadcasting organization International Islamic news agency Islamic committee of the international crescent The scientific , technology and innovation organization

23. OIC did not act upon? The USA started the war against Iraq and the organization of Islamic cooperation was just a spectator. On wards USA attacked Afghanistan and nothing was done by OIC. Daily killing of Muslims in Iraq ,AFGHANISTAN , BURMA AND PALESTINE were seen but the OIC and did not try any effort to solve the issue. Rebels in Libya were supported by French air force and the NATO but the OIC did not move forward to even take a notice.

24. Weakness of OIC OIC members represent 22 per cent of the world population, have 2 per cent of the world's GDP, 1.3 per cent of the world trade and only 1.5 per cent of the investments. Twenty five per cent of OIC population does not have access to medical facilities or safe drinking water . Half of the population lives below the poverty line classified as the most poor. No Muslim country is in the top list of the Human Development Index or in any other global economic indicators The OIC member countries possess 70 per cent of the world's energy resources and 40 per cent of available raw material but their GDP is only 5 per cent of the world GDP. Muslim countries miserably lag behind in education and technology. They produce only 500 PhDs each year as compared to 3,000 in India and 5,000 in the United Kingdom. None of their educational or research institutions or centers of excellence find place in the top 100 in the world.

25. OIC role on Palestine issue Exerting every effort to end the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967, and extending active support for the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination and for the establishment of their independent State with Al Quds Al Sharif as its capital. All the OIC summits and conferences of foreign ministers discuss the progress on the issue of Palestine and showed their determination to stand with the people of Palestine until they get their independence from the cruelity of Israel. Working with the international community in order to compel Israel to put an end to its settlement activities and to dismantle the settlements inside the Palestinian territories.  

26. OIC role On Palestine issue Conclusion The Organization of Muslim Cooperation (OIC) has so far miserably failed to liberate the long-persecuted Palestinians from the yoke of imperial Israel. The organisation of the divided Muslim countries has only issued rhetorical statements in favour of Palestine, without any practical action.

27. OIC role on Kashmir issue Pakistan has always used OIC as a platform to gather support on Kashmir conflict against the Republic of India. In 1969 King Hassan of Morocco invited the Government of India for the 1969 Summit in Rabat. During the OIC 1994 Conference in Tehran, Pakistan succeeded in persuading the member countries to create the "OIC Contact Group on Kashmir". Latest News Yousaf Ahmad Al- Othaimeen , talks with Advisor on Foreign Affairs, the OIC has been urging India to provide access to Kashmir but unfortunately India has declined to accede to the request.  Despite after denial by India, the OIC general sectrary said, "we should keep pressure on New Delhi on the issue of human rights violations in Kashmir and peaceful resolution of the dispute.“ He said terrorism is terrorism and we must work together to combat islamophobia and the rising incident of hatred against Muslims.

28. OIC role on Syria, Afghanistan and Bangladesh On the occasion of the holy month of Ramadan, to stem bloodshed in Syria, alleviate the suffering and plight of Syrians, and make way for aid organizations to provide urgent humanitarian assistance to the affected persons across Syria, the Secretary General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, Iyad Ameen Madani , called for a truce and ceasefire in all Syrian territory. OIC played a minimum role by giving Support of ethical and materialism to Afghanistan during soviet agression (USA attack). In 1974 the conflict between newly formed Bangladesh and Pakistan was sucessfully solved by Organization.

29. Conclusion All the summits conference clearly shows the prime objectives of the OIC is to promote harmony and great cooperation among Muslims. And to protect their interest in international system. But the fact is that the current situation of this Organization is worse than former. One of the most visible failure of oic is the non response on the issue os palestine , Syria and the Israel- Libnan conflict. However it is proved effective in most of the issue on the other hand it also quite in the some major issues.
