The General Secretariat of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) condemned Israel’s recognition of the Somaliland region as an independent state, describing it as a violation of the sovereignty of the Federal Republic of Somalia.

The OIC General Secretariat reaffirmed its full solidarity with Somalia, its steadfast support for the country’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, and its backing of legitimate state institutions, the Saudi Press Agency said on Saturday.

The General Secretariat emphasized the need to uphold the OIC and UN Charters, as well as international law, concerning the sovereignty and territorial integrity of member states. It stressed the importance of preserving security, peace, and stability in the Horn of Africa, and rejected any actions that could undermine regional stability.

On Friday, Israel formally recognized the northern region of Somaliland as an "independent and sovereign state" -- the first country to do so.

The General Secretariat of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) welcomed the annual report of the United Nations Secretary-General, which included the listing of the Israeli occupation authorities and institutions among parties suspected of committing patterns of conflict-related sexual violence, based on documented information, testimonies, and evidence collected and verified through approved and specialized UN mechanisms, SPA reported.

The general secretariat described this step as a legal and humanitarian victory for Palestinian victims and a fundamental contribution to advancing justice, accountability, and ending the prolonged state of impunity.
