The OSCE's human rights activities focus on such priorities as freedom of movement and religion, preventing torture and trafficking in persons.
The OSCE monitors and reports on the human rights situation in each of its 56 participating States, particularly in the areas of freedom of assembly and association, the right to liberty and to a fair trial, and in the use of the death penalty. It provides training and education across the field of human rights, including for government officials, law-enforcement officers, rights defenders and students.
The organization also responds to issues affecting the lives of individuals today, helping to ensure, for example, that human rights are protected in the global fight against terrorism and taking active steps to combat racism, discrimination and related forms of intolerance.
