Secretariat - External Co-operation

The event follows the annual tradition of seminars on subjects relevant to both the OSCE participating States and the Mediterranean Partners for Co-operation.

Discussions at the seminar will focus on issues related to:

• the economic and human dimensions of migration (ways to improve the mutual benefits of legal migration between countries of origin and destination; the fight against illegal migration and the integration of legal migrants); 
• the role of the OSCE and its Mediterranean Partners in promoting tolerance and non-discrimination (education on human rights and tolerance, legislation, and data collection as tools for combating hate crimes and intolerance); and 
• ways and means to improve the dialogue and co-operation between the Mediterranean Partners and the OSCE participating States.
