OSCE participating states
The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) is a regional security organization that promotes peace, democracy, and stability in Europe and beyond. It consists of 57 participating states, mainly from Europe, but also including countries from North America and Central Asia. These states work together to address issues like conflict prevention, human rights, and arms control. The OSCE facilitates dialogue and cooperation among its members to respond to security challenges and promote sustainable development through diplomacy rather than military means. Its inclusive approach fosters collaboration across diverse political and cultural contexts.
