About

Participants reaffirmed the indivisibility of security in the OSCE region and the Mediterranean area. Many stressed the need to include a substantial Mediterranean component in the future OSCE security model and it was recognized that the OSCE could play an important role in the area. In particular, it could assist by promoting:

  • the rule of law 
  • confidence-building measures in relations between the Mediterranean partners for co-operation 
  • co-operative strategies for dealing with common concerns such as terrorism

The Arab League and the Organization for African Unity were among the international organizations that took part.
