Rather than being a formal <a href="/wiki/Treaty" title="Treaty">treaty</a> ratified by national <a href="/wiki/Legislature" title="Legislature">legislatures</a>, the Helsinki Final Act represents a political commitment by the <a href="/wiki/Head_of_government" title="Head of government">heads of government</a> of all signatories to build security and cooperation in Europe on the basis of its provisions. This allows the OSCE to remain a flexible process for the evolution of improved cooperation, which avoids disputes and/or sanctions over implementation.<a href="#cite_note-ReferenceA-76">[71]</a> By agreeing to these commitments, signatories for the first time accepted that treatment of citizens within their borders was also a matter of legitimate international concern. This open process of the OSCE is often given credit for helping build democracy in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, thus leading to the end of the Cold War[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>]. Unlike most international intergovernmental organizations, however, the OSCE does not have international legal personality on account of the lack of legal effect of its charter.<a href="#cite_note-ReferenceA-76">[71]</a> As a result, its headquarters' host, <a href="/wiki/Austria" title="Austria">Austria</a>, had to confer legal personality on the organization in order to be able to sign a legal agreement regarding its presence in <a href="/wiki/Vienna" title="Vienna">Vienna</a>. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Structure_and_institutions">Structure and institutions</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Organization_for_Security_and_Co-operation_in_Europe&action=edit&section=24" title="Edit section: Structure and institutions">edit</a>]</div> Political direction to the organization is given by heads of state or government during summits. Summits are not regular or scheduled but held as needed.<a href="#cite_note-77">[72]</a> The last summit took place in Astana (Kazakhstan), on 1 and 2 December 2010. The high-level decision-making body of the organization is the OSCE Ministerial Council, which meets at the end of every year. At the ambassadorial level, the OSCE Permanent Council convenes weekly in Vienna and serves as the regular negotiating and decision-making body. The chairman of the Permanent Council is the ambassador to the Organization of the participating State which holds the chairmanship. In addition to the Ministerial Council and Permanent Council, the Forum for Security Co-operation is also an OSCE decision-making body. It deals predominantly with matters of military co-operation, such as modalities for inspections according to the Vienna Document of 1999.<a href="#cite_note-78">[73]</a> The OSCE's Secretariat is located in <a href="/wiki/Vienna" title="Vienna">Vienna</a>, <a href="/wiki/Austria" title="Austria">Austria</a>.

Ambassador Frowick was the first OSCE representative to initiate national election in September 1996, human rights issues and rule of law specifically designed to provide a foundation for judicial organization within Bosnia and Herzegovina. The OSCE had regional offices and field offices, to include the office in <a href="/wiki/Br%C4%8Dko_District" title="Brčko District">Brcko</a> in northeastern Bosnia and Herzegovina which remained in limbo until the Brcko Arbitration Agreement could be decided, finalized and implemented. Brcko become a "special district" and remains so today. The OSCE essentially took the place of the United Nations in Bosnia and Herzegovina in part because the Bosnian leadership felt deep contempt for the UN efforts to stop the war which began in 1991 and ended in 1995. During the time the United Nations were attempting a political solution, thousands of UN troops were posted in and around Bosnia and Herzegovina with special emphasis on Sarajevo. From 1991 to 1995, over 200,000 Bosnians were killed and over one million displaced and another million as refugees.<a href="#cite_note-110">[105]</a><a href="#cite_note-111">[106]</a> The OSCE continues to have a presence and a number of initiatives to bring a sustained peace to the region. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Economic_and_environmental_dimension_(second_dimension)">Economic and environmental dimension (second dimension)</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Organization_for_Security_and_Co-operation_in_Europe&action=edit&section=38" title="Edit section: Economic and environmental dimension (second dimension)">edit</a>]</div> Activities in the economic and environmental dimension include the monitoring of developments related to economic and environmental security in OSCE participating States, with the aim of alerting them to any threat of conflict; assisting States in the creation of economic and environmental policies, legislation and institutions to promote security in the OSCE region.<a href="#cite_note-adm223-112">[107]</a> <dl><dt>Economic activities</dt></dl> Among the economic activities of the OSCE feature activities related to migration management, transport and energy security.

From 2006 to 2009, this Office was held by <a href="/wiki/Eva_Biaudet" title="Eva Biaudet">Eva Biaudet</a>, a former Finnish Minister of Health and Social Services. Biaudet currently serves as Finnish Ombudsman for Minorities.

However, the effectiveness of such assistance is arguable—Kazakhstan, for example, despite being the former chair of the OSCE, is considered by many to be one of the least democratic countries in the world. Moreover, the recent democratic advances made in other Central Asian republics, notably Kyrgyzstan, have led to rumours of Soviet-style disruption of the Kyrgyz democratic process by, in particular, Kazakhstan and Russia. This may be in large part due to fears over the long-term stability of these countries' own quasi-dictatorships. <dl><dt>Gender equality</dt></dl> The equality of men and women is an integral part of sustainable democracy.
