The Al-Quds Committee is an Arab-Islamic institution formed in 1975 by 16 member states of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, in recognition of the special place Al-Quds Asharif holds in the hearts of all Arabs and Muslims, and reflecting the importance the member states attach to preserving the Holy City and safeguarding its religious and cultural heritage.
The chairmanship of the Committee was entrusted to the late King Hassan II of Morocco, in recognition of his efforts to coordinate Arab and Islamic action to restore the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people. His successor, His Majesty King Mohammed VI, continues to carry this trust with dedication and ability.
« The cause of Al-Quds is a trust upon us all; we have placed it on the same footing as our foremost national cause. »
