Membership attempts[edit]

  •  Belarus - Requested observer status in 2010.[83][84]
  •  Brazil - Requested observer status in 2011.[85]
  •  Central African Republic - Requested full membership in 2002.[83][86]
  •  China - Requested observer status in 2012.[87]
  •  Democratic Republic of Congo - Requested observer status in 2008[88] and full membership in 2011.[84]
  •  India - India, where Muslims are a minority had shown an interest in joining the OIC as a member state at the time of its formation.[89] However, it was opposed by Pakistan. India has never made a formal application to join OIC as an observer or as a member state.[90] While India's potential candidacy is supported by some OIC members,[91] Pakistan's strong opposition and threat to boycott the OIC has effectively led to India's inclusion in the OIC being blocked. The Pakistan Foreign Office has argued that India's inclusion in OIC would violate the rules of the OIC, which require that an aspirant state should not have an ongoing conflict with a member state.[92]
  •  Kenya - Requested full membership in 2011.[84]
  •  Liberia - Requested full membership in November 2016.[93]
  •  Mauritius - Requested full membership in 2002.[83][86]
  •    Nepal - Requested observer status in 2008.[88]
  •  Philippines - Requested observer status in 2008.[88] The Philippine government has made attempts to join the OIC, but this is opposed by the Moro National Liberation Front, an OIC observer located in the Philippines. The MNLF claims that Philippine membership is unnecessary[citation needed]. In 2009, the country's bid received stronger support and has been advocated by Indonesia, Iran, Malaysia, and the United Arab Emirates, among others.[94][95][96][97] In 2019, one of the leaders of the MNLF, Nir Misuari, was appointed as a special envoy to the organization.[98]
  •  Serbia - Requested full leadership in 2008.[88]
  •  South Africa - Requested observer status in 2002.[88]
  •  Sri Lanka - Requested observer status in 2008.[88]

Notes[edit]

  1. ^ Also known as Guinea-Conakry.
  2. ^ It is not clear whether this figure includes areas such as Gaza, East Jerusalem, and other parts of the Israeli-occupied West Bank that are not controlled by the Palestinian Authority.
  3. ^ This 2010 figure does not include South Sudan, even though it only gained independence from Sudan in 2011. Pew Research Center gives 6.2% for South Sudan's Muslim population in 2010.[27]
  4. ^ Also known as Burkina; formerly referred to as Upper Volta, its official name until 1984.
  5. ^ This figure is published in 2013, unlike the Pew Research Center figures which are from 2010. Pew does not appear to have separate figures for Northern Cyprus, which is not a widely recognised state, but gives 25.3% as the Muslim percentage of the whole of Cyprus in 2010.[71]
