OSCE Human Dimension
Implementation Meeting
"The Human Dimension
Implementation Meeting is the single most important yearly OSCE event focusing
on human rights and democracy in Europe, North America, and Central Asia. For
the next two weeks, we will review how and to what extent governments in the
OSCE region have put their human rights and democracy commitments into
practice. More than 1,000 participants - government representatives, experts,
human rights defenders - are expected to attend, making this Europe's largest
human rights conference. In the spirit of the Helsinki movement, civil society
organizations and the media have full access to all sessions and can discuss
issues with government representatives on an equal footing. I hope that this
conference will make an important contribution to advancing human rights, the
rule of law, and democracy across the OSCE region."
