O pozici
Background:
With 57 participating States in North America, Europe and Asia, the OSCE – the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe – is the world’s largest regional security organization. The OSCE works for stability, peace and security for more than a billion people, through political dialogue and through practical work to build and sustain peace and stability. As the organization evolved, the participating States established a way to organize the manifold of OSCE activities into three dimensions: politico-military, economic-environmental and human. However, many of today's security challenges transcend these traditional dimensions and require integrated responses. Issues such as migration, trafficking in human beings, cyber security, education, gender equality, youth engagement, and violent extremism have political, economic, environmental, and human rights implications that cannot be addressed in isolation.
To respond to these complex and interconnected challenges, the OSCE has adopted a range of cross-dimensional strategies and commitments, including the Strategy to Address Threats to Security and Stability in the Twenty-First Century, several documents on counter-terrorism, the Action Plan to Combat Trafficking in Human Beings, and the Action Plan for the Promotion of Gender Equality. The OSCE promotes co-operation amongst participating States, fosters public-private partnerships, and engages civil society to strengthen comprehensive security responses.
Reflecting the growing importance of cross-dimensional approaches, the OSCE Secretariat is looking for qualified candidates to carry out internships for 2–6-month periods in programmatic areas within the Cross-Dimensional Work Areas.
