within the framework of the co-operation between the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs and the OSCE.
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, 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.
One of the OSCE's largest field operations, the Mission in Kosovo runs a wide array of activities in the field of human rights, democratization and public safety. It is particularly engaged in the protection of community rights; protection of cultural and religious heritage; monitoring the judiciary; gender mainstreaming; media freedom and development; promotion of anti-discrimination mechanisms; improving young people's participation in political and public life; countering terrorism and cyber threats; providing advanced police training and support to key policing and security strategies; and support to the implementation of agreements stemming from the European Union-facilitated dialogue between Prishtinë/Priština and Belgrade. The Mission monitors the work of governmental, municipal and independent institutions and helps strengthen legislation and policies covering the protection of human and community rights; anti-discrimination; freedom of expression; gender equality; and the fight against corruption and organized crime.
