Human Rights of Armed Forces Personnel Box 1.2: Questionnaire on human rights of armed forces personnel in OSCE participating States In order to collect detailed information, ODIHR and DCAF circulated a questionnaire to the delegations of all 57 participating States in February 2018. The questionnaire comprised 74 questions, which sought to fill gaps in current knowledge and obtain useful examples for each chapter of the compendium. Substantive responses were received from the following countries (25): Albania, Austria, Azerbaijan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Montenegro, Norway, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. A note verbale was received from Liechtenstein, which does not have regular armed forces. The following countries did not reply to the questionnaire (31): Armenia, Belarus, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, France, Georgia, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Luxembourg, Moldova, Mongolia, the Netherlands, North Macedonia, Portugal, the Russian Federation, Serbia, Spain, Tajikistan, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, the United States and Uzbekistan, as well as Andorra, the Holy See, Iceland, Monaco and San Marino, five states that do not have regular armed forces. Authorship Each chapter was drafted by a recognized expert on the topic of the chapter. Taking the information obtained by the questionnaire, each drafter endeavoured to update the previous version of the chapter or, as in several cases, to re-write the chapter altogether, with the aim of accurately reflecting the present state of affairs across the OSCE region. Expert review Drafts of each chapter were subjected to close scrutiny by experts in the field of human rights of armed forces personnel, who recommended revisions to each chapter to ensure that the ideas presented and conclusions drawn were valid. Internal reviews were also performed within ODIHR and DCAF. 26
