JEDDAH (AA) - The Secretariat General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) on Wednesday reiterated its condemnation of the dreadful attack on the suburb of the Syrian capital Damascus with internationally-banned chemical weapons and called on the United Nations (UN) Security Council to take action against Syria.
OIC Secretary General Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, stressing the need to hold the Syrian government legally and morally accountable for this heinous crime and to bring its perpetrators to justice, called on the Security Council to discharge its duty of preserving international security and stability, take a unified position against this monstrous crime and its perpetrators, and put an end to such violations.
Indicating that this attack was a blatant affront to all religious and moral values and a deliberate disregard of international laws and norms, which requires a decisive action, Ihsanoglu called for all forms of support to be extended to the Syrian people to defend themselves and for promoting international efforts to help them face these critical circumstances.
