This document consists of a series of resolutions and declarations adopted by the Council of Ministers and the Conference of Heads of State and Government of the Organization of African Unity (OAU) during its 23rd Ordinary Session held in Mogadishu, Somalia, from June 6 to 15, 1974. The resolutions cover a wide range of geopolitical, economic, and social issues, including the decolonization of Portuguese, Spanish, British, and French territories, the fight against apartheid in South Africa and Namibia, the management of drought in Africa, and the establishment of various pan-African technical and administrative bodies.

• The OAU asserts that a just and lasting peace in the Middle East requires the total withdrawal of Israeli forces from all Arab territories occupied since June 1967 to the lines of June 4, 1967, the liberation of Jerusalem, and the recognition of the Palestinian people's right to self-determination.
• The OAU accepted a fund of 200 million US dollars created by Arab oil-producing countries to assist member states, particularly landlocked countries and those affected by drought, with the fund to be managed by the African Development Bank.
• In response to widespread drought, the OAU decided to create an emergency relief fund and a commission—comprising Algeria, Ethiopia, Kenya, Morocco, Zaire, and Upper Volta—to study the geographical progression and geo-climatic characteristics of the phenomenon.
• The OAU condemned the 'dilatory maneuvers' of the Spanish government regarding the decolonization of the Sahara and demanded the organization of a referendum to allow the indigenous populations to express their will.
• Following the coup d'état in Portugal on April 25, 1974, the OAU declared that no solution to the colonial problem is possible without the total independence of Mozambique, Angola, Guinea-Bissau, Cape Verde, and Sao Tome and Principe.
• The OAU decided to integrate the Bureau for the Placement and Education of African Refugees (BPERA) into the OAU General Secretariat as of June 1, 1974, and expanded its mandate to include rural resettlement expertise.
• The OAU urged the British government to end 'clandestine talks' with the Smith regime in Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) and to ensure the rule of the majority and the right to self-determination.
• The OAU recommended the creation of a Pan-African shipping company and a Pan-African airline to improve inter-African transport and economic integration.
