Supplementary Human Dimension Meeting II

The Supplementary Human Dimension Meeting is a mandated meeting, organised within the framework of the Permanent Council by the OSCE Chairman-in-Office, with support from ODIHR and other OSCE Institutions.

The general purpose is to discuss key substantive concerns raised at the previous Human Dimension Meetings regarding the implementation of OSCE human dimension commitments on selected topics and to ensure follow-up for them.

The meeting also provides a platform for an exchange of views among OSCE participating States, OSCE institutions, other executive structures and international organisations, civil society, and other interested stakeholders.

Topic

The second Supplementary Human Dimension Meeting will focus on the interlinkages between media literacy and democracy. It will provide a forum to explore challenges and opportunities in today’s online information environment and their impact on democratic participation, discussing the role of media and information literacy in promoting active citizenry and social resilience, specifically in an important election year like 2024.

Participation

Representatives of the 57 OSCE participating States and OSCE institutions and structures, will be joined by representatives of international organisations, civil society organisations, media and other stakeholders. The Supplementary Human Dimension Meeting is open to those with relevant experience in the human dimension from the OSCE region.
