Our mission
We work for stability, peace and democracy through an engaged political dialogue, shared values and joint action.
Shared values and joint action
The OSCE is a regional security organization whose 57 participating States span the geographical area from Vancouver to Vladivostok. All participating States have equal status and decisions are made by consensus. One of our Organization’s most distinct characteristics is its comprehensive and co-operative approach to security.
