The Warsaw Human Dimension Conference, scheduled to take place from September 30 to October 11, 2024, at the Sofitel Victoria in Krakowska St., Warsaw, marks a significant event in the realm of international human rights and security. Organized by the 2024 OSCE Chairpersonship of Malta, in collaboration with the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR), the conference will concentrate on evaluating the impact of current global events on regional rights and policies.
This 10-day conference offers a crucial platform to assess the progress of OSCE human dimension commitments. With a comprehensive agenda, the event facilitates a robust exchange among participants on democracy, rule of law, tolerance, non-discrimination, fundamental freedoms, and humanitarian matters.
The conference is set to welcome representatives from OSCE participating States, Partners for Co-operation, OSCE institutions, and affiliated organizations from the 57 participating nations. Those attending span the gamut from inter-governmental bodies to civil society activists—all encouraged to share insights and practices.
Attendance at the conference is complimentary, but participants are responsible for their travel and accommodation expenses. Notably, Polish consulates are expediting visa processes for attendees, underscoring Poland’s commitment to human rights discourse.
Online registration continues up until September 6, 2024. To ensure a seamless experience, potential attendees should ensure their details on the ODIHR platform are current. Assistance is available via user guides in English and Russian.
Side events will complement plenary sessions, allowing for focused discussions on pertinent issues. The language barrier is minimized with simultaneous interpretation in English and Russian, encouraging broader participation and discourse.
This annual assembly not only reinforces regional cooperation but also serves as a beacon for international dialogue on human rights, casting a spotlight on the enduring significance of such commitments in today’s world.
