The work of the Helsinki Commission aligns closely with that of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), the world\u2019s largest regional security organization. The United States supports the work of the OSCE through not only the Helsinki Commission, but also through funding\u2014generally contribution between 11 and 14 percent of the OSCE\u2019s operating costs\u2014and through the deployment of individuals who carry out the activities of the OSCE across its vast geographic expanse, who do the day-to-day work of trying to make the principles on which the OSCE is based into a reality on the ground.
In this episode, Kavya Rajan, Director of Human Rights and Communities at the OSCE Mission in Kosovo, and Kelsey Harris-Smith, Political-Military Officer in the Conflict Prevention and Resolution Program at the OSCE Mission to Moldova, describe how the work they and other Americans\u2014as well as staff from other OSCE participating States\u2014do contributes to a sustainable, enduring, democratic peace in the OSCE region.
