Background | ||
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.
The Office's democratization activities include the following thematic areas: rule of law, democratic governance and gender, migration and freedom of movement, and legislative support. The ODIHR implements targeted assistance programmes facilitating and enhancing participating states' compliance with OSCE commitments towards the development of democratic structures.
The objective of the Migration/Freedom of Movement Unit is to assist OSCE participating States in meeting their international commitments in the field of migration, freedom of movement and choice of place of residence, treatment of migrant workers and citizens of other participating States. As part of the Unit's freedom of movement and human contacts portfolio, ODIHR offers expertise to participating States, upon request, for the development and reform of legal and regulatory frameworks relevant to migration, migrant rights and migrant integration. ODIHR also offers participating States capacity building for government officials and other stakeholders, undertaking assessments on specific issues or aspects of migration, and identifying and promoting exchange of good practices and experience on key topics relevant to migration. |
