OILC

OILC stands for the Organisation of Islamic Countries Liberation Committee. It was a political organization founded in 1974. Its primary objective was to coordinate the efforts of member states to support the liberation movements in various parts of the world, particularly those perceived as struggling against colonial or oppressive regimes. The OILC aimed to provide political, moral, and sometimes material support to these movements.

The organization's activities included diplomatic initiatives, statements of solidarity, and the channeling of aid. Membership in the OILC was typically open to nations that were also members of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC). The OIC itself is a larger international organization consisting of 57 states. The OILC operated within the broader framework of Islamic solidarity and cooperation, seeking to promote the interests of Muslim-majority nations and peoples on the international stage.

The OILC's focus and effectiveness varied over time, influenced by the geopolitical landscape and the specific liberation movements it sought to support. Like many such organizations, its impact was often a subject of debate, with proponents highlighting its role in raising awareness and providing a platform for solidarity, while critics might point to limitations in its ability to effect tangible change or allegations of bias. The organization's prominence has also shifted with evolving global political dynamics.
