The workshop was organised by the Montreal International Forum (FIM FIM The ISO 4217 currency code for the Finnish Markka. ) in partnership with the Institute of Strategic and International Studies (ISIS-Malaysia). The Montreal International Forum (FIM) is an International Non-Governmental Organization “NGO” redirects here. For other uses, see NGO (disambiguation). A non-governmental organization (NGO) is a legally constituted organization created by private persons or organizations with no participation or representation of any government. (INGO) established in 1998 as a global alliance of individuals and organizations with the goal of improving the influence of international civil society on the United Nations and the multilateral system. The FIM's broad mandate is to strengthen international civil society's capacity to impact upon the multilateral system, and to do so from a perspective of strengthening the South. Founded in 1983, ISIS-Malaysia is an independent, nongovernmental body engaged in a wide range of activities, including objective and independent policy research, and fostering dialogue and debate among the public and private sectors and academia. The workshop was born out of an assessment that civil society from Muslim countries and communities is too often absent from, or poorly represented in dialogues with multilateral bodies. The emphasis of the meeting was to identify proposals and a joint action plan that would demonstrably de·mon·stra·ble adj. 1. Capable of being demonstrated or proved: demonstrable truths. 2. Obvious or apparent: demonstrable lies. strengthen the influence of civil society from within Muslim countries and communities upon multilateral policies. Participants were encouraged to identify one major multilateral event, or organization/structure whose policies are important to Muslim countries and communities. Emphasis was placed on identifying actions that were realistic and achievable in the near future. Two case studies were presented at the workshop: Abdel Monim Hag Elgak, The Darfur Consortium, the UN Security Council and the International Criminal Court (ICC ICC See: International Chamber of Commerce ): Taking First Steps Towards Justice in Darfur This case study reflected on the experience of the Darfur Consortium--with particular reference to the Consortium's success in referring the tragic situation in Darfur to the ICC and the African Union African Union (AU), international organization established in 2002 by the nations of the former Organization of African Unity (OAU). The AU is the successor organization to the OAU, with greater powers to promote African economic, social, and political integration, . Mahboubeh Abbasgholizadeh, CEDAW CEDAW Convention to Eliminate All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (United Nations) CEDAW Component Explosives Damage Assessment Workbook (reference for blast effects software modeling) , Our Unrealized Dream The case study examined the role of the Iranian civil society that has been the most effective apparatus in the recent decade to bring women together in order to advocate for the observance of women's human rights in Iran Today, the state of human rights in Iran continues to be generally considered a source of significant concern. Despite many efforts by Iranian human right activists, writers, NGOs and international critiques as well as several resolutions by the UN General Assembly and the UN Human and especially the ratification The confirmation or adoption of an act that has already been performed.

Priorities for Action were agreed as follows (substitute from the summary of this meeting sent in April 06): * The focus could be on one or more events--i.e. The Sixth International Conference on New or Restored Democracies (Doha, Qatar, November 2006); The 3rd BMNEAP Summit--Forum for the Future (Amman, November 2006). * Impact/Work on the following multilateral organizations and their policies that are viewed as the most relevant to Muslim countries: Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC "Oh, I see." See digispeak. (chat) OIC - oh, I see. ), African Union (AU), Broader Middle East and North Africa Programme (BMENAP), the United Nations. * Map out institutions to work with (i.e. OIC, AU, BMENAP etc.); Bridge the knowledge gap; Develop and recommend tools and mechanisms of influencing these institutions (i.e.: convince OIC to develop an 'NGO consultative status'). The recommendations should be sustainable, and be applicable by civil society across Muslim countries. * Build a committee/working group comprised of members from various regions of the world and would work on next steps. Conclusion The workshop agreed to set up a working group with the purpose of following up the key proposals identified by the workshop (See above). It was suggested that the Doha conference might be a place for the working group to advance the process. 1. One of the tasks of the working group would be to work out its name, function, and mandate. 2. The workshop mandated FIM to provide Secretarial support for the working group. ISIS also committed itself to supporting the working group. 3. The following participants volunteered for the working group: Ms. Chee Yoke yoke (yok) 1. a connecting structure. 2. jugum. yoke n.
