Guest seminar and discussion with Ms. Lolita Cigane, Member of Parliament; OSCE election observation expert This guest seminar is part of the study course „International Organisations” available for second year students of „Law & Diplomacy” in the RGSL Bachelor programme.
One of the most important and visible areas of performance of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) is promotion and strengthening of the observation of human rights and democratic processes, which also includes election monitoring. The discussion with Ms. Cigane offered the opportunity to raise awareness on the practical and analytical part of this process. What are the OSCE criteria for free and democratic elections, how an election observation team works, how the final report is being prepared – all these and other questions were answered during the discussion.
