VIENNA, 23 April 2020 – For the first time in its history, the OSCE Permanent Council was today held online. Complying with measures and restrictions introduced by the OSCE and the Austrian host authorities in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, delegations of the 57 participating States and 11 Partners for Co-operation held their first meeting via videoconference.

“Despite these exceptional times, we continue to make every effort to continue our work,” said Ambassador Igli Hasani, Chair of the Permanent Council. “The Permanent Council is essential to maintaining political dialogue between OSCE participating States and steering the important day-to-day work of our Organization in Vienna and throughout our region”.

It is for this reason that the Albanian Chairmanship has doubled its efforts to bring together all participating States, partners and executive structures of the OSCE so that this Organization could continue its work effectively, advancing its common objectives.

Secretary General Thomas Greminger thanked the Chair of the Permanent Council, Albanian Ambassador Hasani, and the participating States for today’s critical meeting. He also added a particular recognition to the ICT and conference services team for making this online session possible. In this light “our staff across the OSCE region continues to work together to deliver their mandates while maintaining duty of care to our staff.”

Today’s discussion focused on the periodic reports by the Chief Monitor of the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine, Ambassador Halit Çevik, and Special Representative of the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office in Ukraine and the Trilateral Contact Group, Ambassador Heidi Grau.

Ambassador Hasani reminded the Permanent Council of the tragic death of the SMM paramedic Joseph Stone on 23 April 2017. “This is a sad and stark reminder of the threats the SMM and other civilians continue to face in eastern Ukraine.”

Meetings of the OSCE Permanent Council will take place online until further notice.

Jövő hétfőtől a fővárosi közösségi közlekedés járatai mellett a budapesti üzletekben, boltokban, piacokon, bevásárlóközpontokban, valamint a taxikban is kötelező lesz az arc eltakarása a koronavírus-járvány megfékezés érdekében.

A főváros vezetése már korábban döntött arról, hogy április 27-től csak kendővel, maszkkal vagy sállal eltakart arccal lehet majd utazni a tömegközlekedés járatain. A fővárosi operatív törzs kedd döntött arról, hogy a budapestiek felé tett együttműködési kérésüket kiterjesztik. A döntéseiket az a cél vezeti, hogy megfékezzék a járvány terjedését. Nemzetközi tapasztalatok azt mutatják, hogy zárt térben veszélyes, ha nem takarjuk el az arcunkat, ezért lesz kötelező kendő, sál vagy maszk viselése – mondta.

A Budapesti Közlekedési Központ (BKK) közleményében tudatta, hogy a héten, és az elrendelését követő első napokban a BKK munkatársai hatvanezer egészségügyi maszkot osztanak szét ingyenesen több kiemelt fővárosi csomópontban.

Miskolcon is kötelező lesz a maszk, vagy valamilyen más, a szájat takaró ruhadarab, sál, kendő viselése a tömegközlekedési eszközökön csütörtök reggeltől – közölte a polgármesteri hivatal. Tájékoztatásuk szerint a szabályozás betartását a tömegközlekedési eszközökön a városi közlekedési cég ellenőrei segítik, ellenőrzik, illetve felhívják a figyelmet az intézkedés fontosságára. Az ellenőrök egyelőre nem szankcionálják a maszk hiányát.

Previous research has primarily focused on the EU’s high-profile involvement as direct mediator in peace negotiations. Conversely, less attention has been devoted to the EU’s support to third parties’ mediation efforts, which is a significant component of its mediation activities. Addressing this research gap, this article develops a conceptual framework for the systematic analysis of EU mediation support, identifying key mediation support techniques and the conditions for their success. In terms of mediation support techniques, the EU may rely on “endorsement”, “coordination”, “assistance”, and “lending leverage” to empower and steer third party mediators in line with its mediation objectives and values. We illustrate the utility of the conceptual framework for the EU’s support to IGAD in mediating in South Sudan’s civil war. We find that the EU has contributed significantly to IGAD’s empowerment in terms of endorsement, coordination, assistance, and lending leverage. Simultaneously, our analysis also points to important challenges in the EU-IGAD relationship, which relate to challenges concerning strategic engagement with IGAD’s internal politics that are marked by diverging interests and ties of its member states to the conflict parties.

SDGs SDGs:  16 - Peace, justice and strong institutions

KYIV, 23 April 2020 – In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has brought about a dramatically changed situation for all of us, the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission (SMM) to Ukraine continues to focus on the implementation of the Mandate while also ensuring the reduction of risks for the local population and the protection of Mission members, the Chief Monitor of the OSCE SMM, Yaşar Halit Çevik, said today in his video address from Kyiv to the OSCE Permanent Council.

“Complemented by technical means, the Mission has adapted and continues to carry out core activities, including monitoring and reporting on the security situation in eastern Ukraine,” Çevik said in his first address since the extension of the SMM’s mandate. He warned, however, that restrictions to the freedom of movement imposed by the armed formations “directly affect our ability to carry out our work as one integrated Mission.”

The Chief Monitor said that full and comprehensive implementation of the ceasefire has yet to materialize, with civilians continuing to pay the price. “The continued fighting around civilian infrastructure is all the more concerning in light of the COVID-19 outbreak, during which uninterrupted water and electricity supply is vital to protecting the health of civilians,” he said.

Noting that SMM medic Joseph Stone had died three years ago, after his patrol vehicle was hit most probably by an anti-tank mine, Çevik said the anniversary was “a stark reminder of the need to take urgent measures to protect civilians against the risk posed by these explosive objects.”
