2000 - Report on Interaction Between Organizations and Institutions in the OSCE Area
Since the end of the Cold War, the OSCE has been confronted with changing risks and challenges in Europe. Europe’s division is behind us, but new risks and challenges have emerged. The last decade of the twentieth century saw atrocities of a kind that had not been experienced since the end of World War II. To deal with these new challenges, in the early 1990s, the CSCE process became institutionalized to the point where the CSCE became an Organization recognized by its participating States as being “a primary instrument for early warning, conflict prevention, crisis management and post-conflict rehabilitation”.
