The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has proposed to send an OIC mission to probe into the massacres of Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar.

Secretary-General Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu told an executive committee meeting of the world's largest Islamic body, which is based in the Saudi city of Jeddah, on Sunday that the OIC would try to convince Yangon to allow an OIC fact-finding mission, AFP reported.

According to a statement, issued by the 57-member organization, the secretary-general “expressed disappointment over the failure of the international community to take action to stop the massacres, violations, oppression, and ethnic cleansing perpetrated by the government of Myanmar against the Rohingya Muslims.”

“The OIC has directed its offices at the United Nations in New York to urge the Council to look into the suffering of the Rohingya minority,” he in the statement.
