Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the future role of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine has highlighted the importance and utility of the OSCE. The Vienna Document, an OSCE military transparency mechanism, highlighted Russia's troop build-up before the invasion and the OSCE "Moscow Mechanism" was amongst the first tools used to document Russia's human rights violations and war crimes in Ukraine. The OSCE remains an important forum to hold Russia accountable to OSCE commitments and its actions in Ukraine. The OSCE retains a unique role in economic, environmental and human security and the UK is resolutely committed to preserving it as a forum for conflict management, mediation and dialogue.
