Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE)

Given the principle of consensus of the OSCE, despite the constant discussions of the situation in Crimea and Donbass at the Permanent Council’s meetings OSCE did not adopt any political decisions in this regard. However, the role of OSCE in the process of resolution of the Ukraine-Russia conflict in Donbass is quite significant, in particular, due to OSCE participation in the work of the Trilateral Contact Group as well as activities of the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine (SMM), launched on 21 March 2014.

The OSCE Parliamentary Assembly has repeatedly expressed its support for Ukraine, in particular in following resolutions:

•  «On clear, gross and uncorrected violations of Helsinki principles by the Russian Federation» (Baku, July 2014);
• «On adherence to the Helsinki Principles in inter-state relations across the OSCE Area», (Helsinki, July 2015);
• «On violations of human rights and fundamental freedoms in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the City of Sevastopol», (Tbilisi, July 2016);
• «On restoration of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine», (Minsk, July 2017);
• «On ongoing violations of human rights and fundamental freedoms in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the City of Sevastopol (Ukraine)», (Berlin, July, 2018);
• «On the militarization by the Russian Federation of the temporarily occupied Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the City of Sevastopol, Ukraine, the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov», (Luxembourg, July, 2019) 
• «On the destabilizing military build-up by the Russian Federation near Ukraine, in the temporarily occupied Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol, Ukraine, the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov» (2021).
