The Office works with government institutions, political parties and parliaments, and assists civil society in policy-making. ODIHR also supports the efforts of participating States in increasing the participation of women and youth in politics, strengthening parliaments, developing multiparty political landscapes, improving the integration of migrants and modernizing population-registration systems. These activities are often undertaken to assist states in implementing recommendations made by ODIHR election observation missions.</div> </div> <div class="views-field-title-1"> <span class="field-content"><a href="/odihr/democracy">More about Democratization </a></span> </div> </div> </div> <div class="osce-teaser osce-teaser--with-image"> <div class="osce-teaser--image"> <div class="views-field-field-image-hi-res-fid"> <span class="field-content"><img src="https://www.osce.org/files/imagecache/40_xsmall/f/images/hires/7/9/75040.jpg?1517402734" alt="" title="" width="205" height="138" class="imagecache imagecache-40_xsmall imagecache-default imagecache-40_xsmall_default"/></span> </div> </div> <div class="osce-teaser--text"> <div class="views-field-title"> <span class="field-content">Legislative support</span> </div> <div class="views-field-field-description-value"> <div class="field-content">Good and effective legislation is the foundation of every functioning state based on the rule of law.
