VIENNA 7 July 1995
VIENNA, 7 July 1995 - From 10-12 July, the OSCE Forum for Security Co-operation will hold a Seminar on Regional Arms Control in the OSCE Area. Participants are expected from 52 OSCE States as well as from Japan. Also invited to be present are Korea, Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Morocco and Tunesia.
The Chairman of the Seminar, the Polish Ambassador to the OSCE, Dr. Jerzy Nowak, said that the seminar should open a "serious but at the same time imaginative conceptual debate" on ways to resolve new dilemmas in the politico-military field. He said specific regional arms control measures could be necessary in light of new ethnic conflicts and other problems inherited from the past.
The three day seminar will take place in the Hofburg in Vienna. Agenda items include: The Politico-Military Security Context; Regional Security to Date; Tailoring and Applying Arms Control and Confidence and Security-Building Measures to Regional Concerns; Non-implementation of Arms Control Agreements and FSC Commitments as an Early Warning Indicator; Regional Security Issues and Further Tasks of the Forum for Security Co-operation.
