Vacancy
Background | ||
This is a maternity cover position. The contract will be issued for a period from 1 February 2021 to 3 December 2021.
The OSCE has a comprehensive approach to security that encompasses politico-military, economic and environmental, and human aspects. It therefore addresses a wide range of security-related concerns, including arms control, confidence- and security-building measures, human rights, combating human trafficking, national minorities, democratization, policing strategies, counter-terrorism and economic and environmental activities. All 57 participating States enjoy equal status, and decisions are taken by consensus on a politically, but not legally binding basis.
The Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) is the principal institution of the OSCE responsible for the human dimension. ODIHR is active throughout the OSCE area in the fields of election observation, democratic development, human rights, tolerance and non-discrimination, and the rule of law. ODIHR's assistance projects and other activities are implemented in participating States in accordance with ODIHR's mandate.
Under Maastricht Ministerial Council Decision 4/03 ODIHR was tasked "with serving as a collection point for information and statistics collected by participating States". Based on this, ODIHR developed a dedicated website, the Tolerance and Non-Discrimination Information System (TANDIS). ODIHR has also been publishing an annual report on hate crimes since 2005.
Ministerial Council Decision 13/06 encouraged the Office, within the scope of its resources: "To continue to serve as a collection point for information and statistics on hate crimes and relevant legislation provided by participating States and [to] make this information publicly available through its Tolerance and Non-Discrimination Information System and its report on Challenges and Responses to Hate-Motivated Incidents in the OSCE Region". In 2014, ODIHR launched a hate crime reporting website on hate crimes. The website presents ODIHR's annual report on hate crimes and brings data collected from 57 States into a user-friendly online resource. |
