This document contained a number of key commitments on polito-military, economic and environmental and human rights issues that became central to the so-called 'Helsinki process'. It also established ten fundamental principles (the 'Decalogue') governing the behaviour of States towards their citizens, as well as towards each other.</p> <p>Until 1990, the CSCE functioned mainly as a series of meetings and conferences that built on and extended the participating States' commitments, while periodically reviewing their implementation. However, with the end of the Cold War, the Paris Summit of November 1990 set the CSCE on a new course. In the Charter of Paris for a New Europe, the CSCE was called upon to play its part in managing the historic change taking place in Europe and responding to the new challenges of the post-Cold War period, which led to its acquiring permanent institutions and operational capabilities.</p> <p>As part of this institutionalization process, the name was changed from the CSCE to the OSCE by a decision of the Budapest Summit of Heads of State or Government in December 1994.</p> <p>Learn more about the OSCE and its work <a href="https://www.osce.org/whatistheosce">here</a>. </p> </div> </div> <aside class="osce-box osce-box-style-white osce-box-collapse-never osce-box-gridlayout-nogrid osce-box-views_panes osce-box-node_multimedia-panel_pane_1 osce-borderless osce-box-empty"> <header class="osce-box-header"> <div class="osce-box-label">Who we are</div> <h2 class="osce-box-title"><span>Video & Photography</span></h2> </header> <div class="osce-box-content "> <div class="view view-node-multimedia view-id-node_multimedia view-display-id-panel_pane_1 view-dom-id-ee16789c5eb6b8de10cfc7c21aac7d53"> <div class="view-empty"> <div style="display: none"></div> </div> </div> </div> </aside> <div class="panel-pane pane-panels-mini pane-key-resources-activities key-resources" > <div class="pane-content"> <aside class="osce-box osce-grid-wide osce-grid-bordered osce-box-borderless osce-box-style-white osce-box-collapse-never osce-box-gridlayout-nogrid osce-box-content_field osce-box-field_links"> <header class="osce-box-header"> <div class="osce-box-label">Who we are > History</div> <h2 class="osce-box-title"><span>Key Resources</span></h2> </header> <div class="osce-box-content "> <div class="field field-type-link field-field-links"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <div class="link-item"> <div class="link-item-link"> <a href="/whatistheosce/factsheet"><div class="osce-figure"><img src="https://www.osce.org/files/imagecache/50_thumb/f/images/hires/6/5/107375_0.png?1685525253" alt="Thumbnail cover of the "Factsheet: What is the OSCE?"
