mandate includes issues such as arms control, human rights, freedom of
the press and fair elections. Most of its 3,500-plus staff are engaged
in field operations, with only around 10% in its headquarters. The
OSCE is an ad hoc organization under the United Nations Charter (Chap.
VIII), and is concerned with early warning, conflict prevention,
crisis management and post-conflict rehabilitation. Its 56
participating states are in Europe, the Caucasus, Central Asia and
North America and cover most of the northern hemisphere. It was
created during the Cold War era as an East-West forum.
