5. Building on the implementation review structures in the Helsinki Document 1992
and to improve human dimension implementation, the participating States will use the
Permanent Council for an enhanced dialogue on the human dimension and for possible action in cases of non-implementation. To this end, the participating States decide
that human dimension issues will be regularly dealt with by the Permanent Council.
They will draw more widely on the possibilities offered by the Moscow Mechanism for
examining or promoting the solution of questions relating to the human dimension on
their territory.
6. They encourage the Chairman-in-Office to inform the Permanent Council of serious
cases of alleged non-implementation of human dimension commitments, including on
the basis of information from the ODIHR, reports and recommendations of the High
Commissioner on National Minorities (HCNM), or reports of the head of a CSCE mission and information from the State concerned.
