\n

 <\/p><\/div>\n

\n

31.<\/strong><\/span>       <\/span>Requests <\/strong><\/span>the Secretary-General to follow up on the implementation of the present resolution and to report thereon to the 34<\/span>th<\/sup><\/span> Session of the Islamic Conference of Foreign Ministers.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n
