ment as appropriate, in their delegations to seminars: - that moderators of the seminars be carefully chosen from among experts in the subject-matter of the seminar; - that moderators of the seminars produce non-negotiated summaries of the seminars and the texts be widely disseminated; - that the ODIHR produce a compilation of relevant CSCE texts before each seminar; - that the CSO consider appropriate follow-up to each seminar; - that the CSO/CSO Vienna Group determine the agenda and modalities of the seminars at least three months before the date of the seminar, as required by the Helsinki Document. In discussion of the activities of the ODIHR and of strengthening its role as the main institution of the Human Dimension, participants expressed appreciation of the work of the Office to date. It was suggested that various aspects of the Office's role could be strengthened, including its capacity to provide expert advice; its information role with NGOs; its involvement in the political consultations of the CSCE in Vienna and Prague: its work in co-ordination with other international organisations; its activity as a clearinghouse for information on the Human Dimension, including and on issues relating to strengthening civil society and the role of NGOs; its role in monitoring the implementation by participating States of their Human Dimension commitments; its assistance to long-term missions. Suggestions were made to increase the staffing and resources of the Office. In view of the above discussion, the following are informal recommendations concerning the activities and role of the ODIHR: - that the ODIHR be empowered, in consultation with other CSCE bodies, to bring to the attention of the CSO/CSO Vienna Group instances of non-implementation of Human Dimension commitments; - that NGOs channel information to the ODIHR concerning reports of non-implementation of Human Dimension commitments; - that the ODIHR maintain a database of experts, from both inside and outside government, in fields relevant to the Human Dimension, for use as advisers on missions, and other purposes of the CSCE, including the ODIHR and the High Commissioner on National Minorities; - that the ODIHR request the participating States and NGOs to make available for inclusion in such a database information regarding relevant experts; - that the CSO review the staffing and funding of the ODIHR and consider their increase in the light of any new tasks given to it; - it also be noted that recommendations in other parts of this report are also relevant to the work of the ODIHR. CLUSTER III The third cluster of agenda items dealt with the following topics: - Co-operation between CSCE and other international organisations in the Human Dimension field; - Role of NGOs; - Improved dissemination of information regarding the Human Dimension. In discussion of co-operation between the CSCE and other international organisations in the Human Dimension fields, notably the Council of Europe and the United Nations, particularly the UN Centre for Human Rights, it was noticed that other organisations held similar aims even if their approaches were different and would impose limits to the scope for co-operation. Other organisations, including the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the UN High Commission for Refugees and UNESCO had also addressed the plenary meeting. Participants encouraged the ODIHR and relevant international organisations to maintain a close dialogue in order to co-ordinate their activities and identify possible areas of joint endeavour. A number of ideas were put forward to enhance co-operation in the field of the Human Dimension, including attendance at relevant general and committee meetings; the exchange of liaison officers and of information; participation in activities contributing to shared aims; regular high-level meetings; and the conclusion of formal agreements with relevant organisations.
