ISLAMABAD: The ombudsmen of the nations that make up the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) have reaffirmed their dedication to tackling injustices around the world, with an emphasis on the terrible conditions that the Palestinian people live in.
In order to create a diverse and cohesive front against these serious concerns, the ombudsmen of the Muslim world convened at the board meeting of the OIC Ombudsman Association (OICOA). Members from Turkiye, Azerbaijan, Indonesia, Morocco, Bahrain, and Iran were present in person, while the Iranian representative participated virtually. A news release was released here on Thursday.
Dr. Asif Mahmood Jah, Federal Tax Ombudsman of Pakistan and Secretary General of OICOA, said, “We must raise our voice together to echo the screams of the innocent who suffer on a daily basis. The Zionist regime’s atrocities must be opposed, and strong, effective campaigning that goes beyond sympathy is required.
“Now, more than ever, our solidarity, effort, and cooperation are vital,” Dr. Jah stated, emphasizing the need for the Ombudsman community to come together as one and take action. We have the ability to bring about change.”
Seref Malkoc, President of OICOA and Chief Ombudsman of Turkiye, bemoaned the demise of humanity evident in the ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people and emphasized the growing problem of Islamophobia in European nations.
He was disappointed in world leaders for remaining silent in the face of such devastation and suffering.
Malkoc expressed confidence that the Palestinian people would emerge from the ashes and praised South Africa for taking the initiative to bring Israel’s acts before the International Court of Justice.
All of the board members endorsed the OICOA’s leadership in calling for prompt, effective intervention and denounced the continued horrors in Palestine. They promised to assist the efforts of their various ombudsman offices to draw attention to the crimes committed by the Zionist Israeli regime.
Almas Ali Jovindah, OICOA’s executive secretary, saw the board meeting as a critical turning point for the organization’s influential future.
