Dakar : An agreement has been reached over some problematic clauses in the revised Charter of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC), said sources from the 11th Session of the Islamic Summit Conference on Friday.
In a statement to KUNA, the sources expected the revised charter to be approved by the OIC summit today, following intense deliberations by leaders or their representatives.
The revision of the OIC Charter comes in line with the Ten-Year OIC Action Plan adopted by the Third Extraordinary OIC Summit in 2005. The action plan stipulates introducing reform to the OIC and its affiliate bodies.
The charter revision was met with a number of objections by some delegations over such issues as changing the name of the organization, the article on membership and granting observer status, as well as when the charter would come into effect.
