ODIHR organizes a number of major meetings each year, including the Human Dimension Implementation Meeting, the Human Dimension Seminar, and three Supplementary Human Dimension Meetings.

Human Dimension Implementation Meetings

ODIHR organizes an annual meeting in Warsaw to review the implementation of OSCE human dimension commitments. It lasts 10 working days and is attended by representatives of OSCE participating States, NGOs, and international organizations.

Human Dimension Seminars

Every year in spring, ODIHR organizes a Human Dimension Seminar in Warsaw. These usually last three working days and concentrate on human dimension issues of particular importance to the OSCE participating States.

Supplementary Human Dimension Meetings

The OSCE organizes three Supplementary Human Dimension Meetings every year. These meetings usually last one-and-a-half working days and are devoted to key substantive concerns raised at previous implementation meetings or review conferences.

Other meetings

ODIHR also organizes other large meetings, often in co-operation with other OSCE bodies.
