2017 Annual Security Review Conference

The Annual Security Review Conference (ASRC) provides a framework for enhancing security dialogue and for reviewing security work undertaken by the OSCE and its participating States, to provide an opportunity to exchange views on issues related to the OSCE’s first dimension,  and to promote the exchange of information and co-operation with relevant international and regional organizations and institutions.

Participants of the three-day event will focus on strengthening security through dialogue.

Eight sessions with high-level experts and diplomats will address a broad range of topics related to the wide spectrum of politico-military security in the OSCE. Topics of the conference include the crisis in and around Ukraine, transnational threats, notably terrorism and cyber threats,  the conflict cycle and conflict and crisis situations in the OSCE area as well as , conventional arms control and confidence- and security-building measures. Moreover, a special session will be devoted to the Structured Dialogue, a process that addresses challenges and risks in the wider politico-military sphere and explores possibilities of reversing the negative trends in the European security architecture.
