As the OSCE Chairmanship in 2017, Austria has an opportunity to contribute to restoring stability and confidence throughout this region. It intends to address three central challenges to security and stability in the OSCE area, which threaten our common values: the military confrontations that have caused thousands of victims, displacement and destruction; the increasing threat to internal security through growing radicalization, particularly of young persons, and terrorism in its wake; and the increasing loss of confidence between States and also by citizens towards State institutions and organizations that are meant to safeguard peace and our values.

Content type: Study / report
Where we are: OSCE Chairmanship, OSCE Secretariat

Publisher: Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe
This study on the OSCE’s engagement with insider mediators has been conducted by the Berghof Foundation and commissioned by the OSCE Conflict Prevention Centre/Operations Service Mediation Support Team jointly with the German OSCE Chairmanship. Insider mediators enjoy an inherent legitimacy and authority to engage with conflict actors and possess potential advantages in comparison to mediators coming from outside a conflict context. They are highly relevant for the OSCE as peacemakers, yet engagement requires acute sensitivity and strategizing. The study deliberates on some conceptual and operational considerations for OSCE support to insider mediation.
