CSCE Human Dimension seminars

Dimension seminars which will address specific questions of particular relevance to
the Human Dimension and of current political concern. The CSO will establish an
annual work programme including the titles and dates of such seminars. The agenda
and modalities of each seminar will be approved by the CSO at the latest three months
before the seminar. In doing so, the CSO will take into account views expressed by the
ODIHR. Unless otherwise decided, seminars will be held at the seat of the ODIHR and
will not exceed one week. The work programme will take into account work by relevant
international organizations and institutions.

So may NGOs with relevant experience. Independent experts attending the seminar as members of national delegations will also be free to speak in their own capacity.
