New Risks and Challenges within the Context of OSCE

The OSCE is a fundamental instrument of co-operation in the Euro-Atlantic region on the fight against new threats after September 11. One of its main tasks is the one of functioning as an         early warning instrument towards new challenges and threats to the international security. The organization may become a forum, which contributes to build up new security norms, principles and co-operation processes among States. The fight against terrorism became one of the priorities of the OSCE and due to its experience in that field it may have, in the future, an even more outstanding role in the context of Euro-Atlantic institutions.
