Activities

With its expertise in conflict prevention, crisis management and early warning, the OSCE contributes to world-wide efforts in combating terrorism. Many effective counter-terrorism measures fall into areas in which the OSCE is already active, such as police training and border monitoring.

There are various social, economic and political factors which foster conditions in which terrorist organizations are able to recruit and gather support. The OSCE's comprehensive approach to security provides comparative advantages in combating terrorism by identifying and addressing these factors through all relevant OSCE instruments and structures.

OSCE Institutions active in combating terrorism:

• Secretariat - Action against Terrorism Unit
• Forum for Security Co-operation
• Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR)
• Secretariat - Office of the Co-ordinator of OSCE Economic and Environmental Activities
