Rome 1993 135 • The Ministers attached significance to the outcome of the first Implementation Meeting on Human Dimension Issues, as well as the human dimension seminars conducted. The results of the Implementation Meeting of Human Dimension Issues were welcomed and the CSO and the Permanent Committee of the CSCE were tasked to consider relevant followup to them. • Enhanced follow-up by the political bodies of the CSCE based on summaries of meetings and seminars in the human dimension will be sought. The ODIHR, in consultation with interested participating States, is invited to present further proposals for appropriate followup action resulting from human dimension seminars to forthcoming CSO or Permanent Committee meetings. • The Ministers expressed their appreciation of the work carried out at the Seminar on Free Media to stimulate editorially independent broadcast media and a free press. They reiterated their commitment to safeguard freedom of expression, a basic human right, and stressed the necessity of independent media for a free and open society. To this end the Ministers decided that better use should be made of the CSCE human dimension instruments to promote open and diverse media, including exploring the possibility of utilizing CSCE missions. (…) VIII. Integration of recently admitted Participating States (…) 2. The Ministers underlined the importance of the Human Dimension in the further integration of the recently admitted participating States. While many of these States are in a difficult period of political and economic transition, the Ministers expressed their expectation that the recently admitted participating States would do their utmost to ensure the implementation in their countries of all CSCE principles and commitments, also in times of crisis. They commended the role played by the ODIHR in helping to build democratic institutions in the recently admitted participating States. They requested the ODIHR to intensify its efforts to identify and implement co-operation projects with these States within the framework of the Programme or Co-ordinated Support. They noted also the important contribution made by the Human Dimension seminars organized by the ODIHR to increased understanding of the problems arising from the process of integration. They agreed on the importance of making full use of the experience gained at these seminars. (…) X. Declaration on Aggressive Nationalism, Racism, Chauvinism, Xenophobia and Anti-Semitism 1. Recalling their decisions taken at the Stockholm Council Meeting, the Ministers noted with deep concern the growing manifestations of aggressive nationalism, such as territorial expansionism, as well as racism, chauvinism, xenophobia and anti-semitism. These run directly counter to the principles and commitments of the CSCE.
