- Final Report
The Swiss Federal Council has given a positive assessment of Switzerland’s Chairmanship of the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) in 2014, with useful contributions being made to promoting security and cooperation in Europe in spite of the Ukraine crisis. This report indicates that while the OSCE could not prevent the conflict in Ukraine, it has managed to substantially de-escalate it. As well as this crisis, there were other focal issues where Switzerland came up with cooperation-based proposed solutions, covering such areas as fighting terrorism while respecting human rights, and disaster protection.
