while hussain served as special envoy, the u.s. and oic increased cooperation in health and development, including oic-usaid cooperation on humanitarian aid, and have expanded partnerships in entrepreneurship, and science and technology. the oic has been increasingly active in condemning violent extremism, including attacks on religious minorities, and the kidnapping of school girls by boko haram in nigeria. the u.s. worked with the oic to eliminate the oic's previous heavily criticized "defamation of religion" resolution at the un and replace it with a resolution that removes the "defamation" concept and seeks to counter intolerance without restricting speech in a manner inconsistent with u.s. law. the oic has also taken a larger role in international affairs - it was among the first to call for a no-fly zone in libya and has been heavily critical of bashar al-assad's regime, removing syria from the oic in 2012.
