To enhance the effectiveness of human dimension meetings: u States should be encouraged to prepare for the HDIM more thoroughly and attend at a sufficiently high political and expert level; u States should focus more intensely on reviewing compliance across the range of the human dimension in the entire OSCE region, including by investigating the value and use of focused and selective questionnaires on targeted human dimension issues; u In preparing for Ministerial Councils, the Chairmanship should consider ways to ensure specific follow-up on the forward-looking discussion during the three special days during the HDIM; u States should consider the added value of organizing SHDMs outside Vienna with a view to raising the Organization’s public profile and ownership. The ODIHR will: u Assist States in developing a more consistent plan to follow up on human dimension meetings, in particular with regard to the recommendations made; u Further enhance the visibility and participation of civil society in all human dimension meetings.
