- BIt endeavours to safeguard and protect interests of the Muslim world in the spirit of promoting international peace and harmony among various people of the world.

Explanation
The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), headquartered at Jeddah, has 57 member states and works for Muslim-world solidarity and peace, maintaining cooperative relations with the UN. However, it is only the second-largest intergovernmental organisation; the largest is the United Nations with 193 member states. So the claim that the OIC is the largest intergovernmental organisation in the world is not correct.
