Two new OSCE Insights papers examine the OSCE’s role in responding to mounting challenges across its region. Mariana Rodrigues analyzes the organization’s efforts to address the repression of Crimean Tatars under the Russian occupation of Crimea, highlighting the limitations imposed by restricted access and political obstacles. Bradley Reynolds and Johanna Ketola explore the future of civil society engagement in the OSCE, focusing on Finland’s 2025 Chairpersonship. The papers show that despite growing pressures on human rights, democracy, and civic space, the OSCE remains a vital forum for dialogue. Nonetheless, they both point to the need for great innovation and stronger political support.
