Background | ||
With 57 participating States in North America, Europe, and Asia, the OSCE - the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe - is the world's largest regional security organization. Based at four Institutions and 16 field operations throughout the OSCE area, our work addresses a wide range of security-related concerns, including arms control, confidence- and security-building measures, human rights, national minorities, democratization, policing strategies, counter-terrorism and economic and environmental activities.

The TNTD comprises the Co-ordination Cell (CC), the Strategic Police Matters Unit (SPMU), the Action against Terrorism Unit (ATU) and the Border Security and Management Unit (BSMU). The ATU is a focal point, information resource and implementation partner for OSCE counter-terrorism activities, following decisions of participating States taken at Permanent Council and Ministerial Council meetings, such as PC Decision No. 1063, OSCE Consolidated Framework for the Fight against Terrorism.
The OSCE Gender Action Plan is committed to increasing the number of female staff in all areas of the OSCE’s work. Female candidates are strongly encouraged to apply for this management opportunity.
