diplomatic dialogue, in full consideration for the sovereignty and the territorial integrity of the concerned country. Assisting the Muslim minorities in their dialogue with their governments for assimilation and co-existence with other minorities • Seeking cooperation from Islamic organizations and institutions to cater for the economic and social needs for them. The dimensions of the minority's problem received particular attention by the international community while establishing human rights standards. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948, in unconditional upheld the right of minorities and communities without making any distinction based on race, color, sex, language, religion, political, or :other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. The principle was again reiterated in Covenant on Civil and Political Rights of 1966, in article 27 going beyond the UNDHR and the subsequent declaration of the General. Assembly adopted through resolution 47/135 of 18 December 1992.1 Thus, the rights of Muslim Minorities have human rights dimension as the rights of minorities' narrows on the issues of how much freedom they enjoy in any given context. Inter-related to the' enjoyment of rights are the issues of conflict between the Minorities and communities bordering on specific rights guaranteed by the state constitutions and legal orders to such minorities, nevertheless., being denied through different means, often through circumventing of such rights trough adverse legislation or use of force in suppressing it. It right to say that the problem of the minorities is not confined Only to the Muslim Minorities, but it has broader implication in many nonmember countries often; ethnic, cultural, linguistic, religious political peculiarities have led to the denial of rights. As the OIC aims to promote with UN-international peace and security all over the world , the OIC also wishes to co-operate with the UN along with the Human Rights Council, in order to bring up such important issue of Muslim minorities to the attention of the biggest international body. Thank you for listening. Talal A. Daous Director of the Muslim Minorities and Communities OIC
