Madani also reiterated the basis of the OIC policy on the Syrian crisis as outlined in the OIC Summit resolutions, namely, to preserve Syria's sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity; to abide by the Islamic values of peace, justice and equality; to adhere to human rights, and to do all that is possible to prevent the conflict from becoming a full-fledged civil war. Madani stressed the Syrian Government's responsibility for the tragic deterioration of the situation in Syria. He also underlined the prime role of the permanent members of the UN Security Council, as well as the countries of the region in ending the crisis.
