Since its founding some 30 years ago, ODIHR’s mandate has centred on assisting participating States in fulfilling their human dimension commitments, including those of Roma and Sinti communities. The bedrock of these efforts has been the OSCE Action Plan on Enhancing the Situation of Roma and Sinti within the OSCE Region, which was adopted in 2003. This plan has served as the cornerstone for ODIHR’s guidance to States towards effective implementation of these commitments. Now, marking the 20th anniversary of the Action Plan, this Fourth Status Report takes comprehensive stock of the advances made over the past five years in realizing the Action Plan’s commitments.
