摘要：
This article aims at analysing the international legal personality of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) and its significance for nowadays war against terrorism. As an international organization, the OIC lacks of a body enforcing recommendation and resolution adopted by the organization. As a consequence, the OIC is deemed to be a marginal player in international politics which are not able to influence international affairs. Likewise, some even doubt its capability to bear an idealistic objective, namely to defend the interest of all Muslims around the world (the ummah). Considering the complex nature of nowadays terrorisms, i.e., difficulties in defining terrorism and determining terrorist, however, the OIC may play an important role in combating terrorism. This is done, this article argues, through optimizing cooperation on education and information about the true concept of jihad and image of Islam among state parties as well as international community.
