The OAU Council of Ministers' 22nd Ordinary Session in Kampala (April 1974) produced resolutions addressing internal financial irregularities, the adoption of the 1974/75 budget, and support for Sahelian countries facing drought. Key diplomatic positions included support for the PLO in the Middle East, opposition to the US-UK base at Diego Garcia, and the endorsement of Amadou Mahtar M'Bow for Director General of UNESCO. The Council also approved financial aid for Guinea-Bissau and proposed a tax-funded mechanism to mitigate the impact of rising oil prices on developing nations.

• Regarding the Middle East, the OAU reaffirmed that a just and lasting peace requires the total withdrawal of Israeli forces from all Arab territories occupied since June 1967, the liberation of Jerusalem, and the exercise of the Palestinian people's right to self-determination. The Council declared its full support for the PLO as the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people.
• The OAU condemned the maintenance and planned expansion of the US-UK base at Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean, stating such actions contradict UN resolutions and threaten peace and security in the zone. The Council called for the Indian Ocean to be a zone of peace.
