OSCE

Arms and Instruments

Resumo

According to the author, the OCSE/CSCE exceeded, during the Cold War, the expectations for hich it  was created in 1975. Confronted with the new international context the organisation will have to adjust itself or else it will be condemned to disappear. For that reason, the organisation is, nowadays, much concentrated on the fight against terrorism and illegal immigration in order to protect civil freedom and collective security. This does not invalidate the fact the organization is going through a period of  crisis and that a reform will be needed, taking advantages from its geographic scope and therefore improving its capacity to deal with multicultural issues.
