Report on the 2005 Human Dimension Implementation Meeting

From September 19-30, 2005, the participating States of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) met in Warsaw, Poland, for a Human Dimension Implementation Meeting (HDIM). The HDIM forum, which meets each year, is convened by the OSCE to discuss the compliance of participating States with the full range of the human dimension commitments to which they had previously agreed.

The 2005 HDIM drew record attendance by 331 nongovernmental organizations from across the OSCE region.1 In addition, on October 20, the OSCE Permanent Council in Vienna held a follow-up discussion to the HDIM discussions.
