Jakarta (ANTARA News) - The Independent Permanent Commission on Human Rights of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has agreed on three recommendations for a further follow up at the next meeting.

"The three recommendations are the outcome of the first meeting of the OIC`s Human Rights Commission," Siti Ruhaini Dzuhayatin, a member of the commission from Indonesia, said here on Friday.

In the recommendations, the commission attached significance to the upholding of law in government agencies.

It also called for an effort to prioritize the issue of children and women and compile guides for the upholding of law in countries that had exercised human rights, she said.

"Hopefully, the compilation of `the best practice` will serve as a lesson for other countries that have not yet applied human rights in their governments," she said.

Siti said the vast majority of OIC member states had appreciated Indonesia for its law enforcement and wished to adopt it as an example in their respective countries.

"All the recommendations will be followed up on at the second meeting to be held in Istanbul, Turkey in July," she said.

The OIC`s Independent Permanent Commission on Human Rights was set up in Kazakhstan in the middle of 2010. The commission is tasked with monitoring the exercise of human rights in every OIC member state, she said.

The first meeting of the commission was held in Jakarta from February 20 to 24 and participated in by 18 of 57 OIC member states.
