The OSCE Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe is the
world’s largest security-oriented intergovernmental organization. Its
mandate includes issues such as arms control, human rights, freedom
of 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 UN Charter 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. Armenia became OSCE member on January 30,
1992. Since January 2010 the OSCE chairmanship was passed from Greece
to Kazakhstan.
