inclusiveness, in accordance with the provisions of the UN Charter. The Meeting stressed that the UN Security Council reform must be comprehensive in all its aspects and be carried out through constructive negotiations, taking into account the views of the United Nations membership, including that of the OIC Member States.
It reaffirmed its principle position that any reform of the Security Council must ensure adequate representation of the OIC Member States in any category of membership in an expanded Security Council and noted that OIC's demand for adequate representation in the Security Council is in keeping with the significant demographic and political weight of the OIC Member States.
The Meeting reiterated that efforts at the restructuring of the Security Council shall not be subjected to any artificial deadlines, and that a decision on this issue should be made by consensus.
It underlined the resolve of the Member States to continue contributing actively and constructively to the consideration of the UN reform, including through regular consultations among OIC Member States.
The Meeting lauded the contributions made by the UN Alliance of Civilizations initiative, and called on all Member States who have not already done so to join the Alliance's Group of Friends.
The Meeting reaffirmed the principled position of the OIC that where there are OIC Member States candidates for senior United Nations positions, or for membership of the main and other UN bodies, including the Security Council, ECOSOC, and the General Assembly subsidiary bodies, the OIC will support them; and urged the Member States to make the necessary arrangements towards agreeing on one candidate in the event of having multiple candidacies for the same post from the OIC Member States. The Meeting welcomed the candidature of Turkey and Malaysia for non-permanent membership of the UN Security Council for the term 2015-2016.
The Meeting expressed support to the initiative of the Republic of Kazakhstan on the establishment of the OIC Food Security Office and invited Member States to actively participate in an expert meeting within the Standing Committee for Economic and Commercial Cooperation of the OIC (COMCEC) framework in October 2012 to finalize draft documents to be approved by the 39th session of OIC CFM in Djibouti.
The Meeting expressed its satisfaction on the initiatives taken by the Secretary General towards addressing the issues related to women, children and youths as provided for in the OIC Ten-Year Programme of Action. The Meeting laid importance on taking up appropriate projects by the Member States to empower these vulnerable groups by creating opportunities to quality education and access to health care, recreation, and strong family values based on the noble teachings of Islam.
