HUMAN DIMENSION MEETINGS
Human Dimension Meetings 2018
Representatives of OSCE participating States, civil society and international organizations come together annually at human
dimension meetings to discuss human dimension commitments and review their implementation, while addressing human
rights-related issues of common concern.
The Human Dimension Implementation Meeting (HDIM)
HDIM 2018 took place in Warsaw from 10 to 21 September,
and addressed the wide range of OSCE human dimension commitments. In 2018, three of the topics were specially selected:
Freedom of the Media; the Rights of Migrants; and Combating
Racism, Xenophobia, Intolerance and Discrimination. The
HDIM, the largest meeting of its kind, was attended by 1,477
participants (690 women, 777 men, 10 undisclosed) this year.
