You Are The OSCE

You are the OSCE. You matter, and that’s why the OSCE matters.

You are the reason we combat human trafficking and terrorism, and why we are working to strengthen energy security and gender equality. Improving your world is why we help support society building and youth engagement on the ground.

Through our presence across the region, each of our projects and programmes are contributing in big and small ways to our collective security and bettering people’s lives. Each of these activities together creates a consistency and stability critical in these turbulent times.

Ultimately, our comprehensive approach to security — rooted in the Helsinki Final Act — is about building a better, more prosperous and peaceful region for people. For you.
