It was passed by the 48th session of the OIC Council of Foreign Ministers in Islamabad.

The OIC Foreign Ministers expressed serious concern on the incident which constituted multiple violations of international law, UN charter, civil aviation rules and safety protocols, and endangered human life and property besides posing a grave threat to regional and international peace, security and stability.

The resolution called on the UN Secretary General and other relevant international bodies to pursue the matter with India in line with their mandated duties to accurately establish the facts to prevent such occurrences in the future.
