Les provisions de la dimension humaine qui se trouvent dans ce recueil sont expliquées dans les documents qui sont nés de ces sommets, réunions de suivi, conférences sur la dimension humaine et lorsqu’ils étaient appropriés, les réunions de conseil ministériel depuis 1975. On y trouve aussi des documents qui ont été réalisés lors de réunions d’experts appropriés, puis incorporés plus tard dans le corpus d’engagements de la CSCE/OSCE lors d’autres forums.

Ces directives relatives à la préparation aux journées de commémoration de l’Holocauste ont été élaborées à l’intention du corps professoral de l’enseignement secondaire des Etats participants à l’Organisation pour la sécurité et la coopération en Europe (OSCE). Il s’agit principalement de suggestions d’activités liées aux Journées annuelles de commémoration de l’Holocauste.

The OSCE in 2003 adapted itself to new security risks and challenges and refined its instruments to meet new challenges ahead. During the year the OSCE had to demonstrate its ability to respond effectively to the demands of an ever-changing security environment. The Institutions and Missions of the OSCE demonstrated their ability to make a difference on the ground through the numerous activities they developed. In many cases the OSCE co-operated in 2003 with other international organisations that deal with European security, human rights and economic issues. In view of the broad spectrum and complex nature of security and other issues, and in line with its Platform for Co-operative Security, co-operation with other organisations and institutions was promoted, as it makes the performance of the OSCE more effective and more efficient.

The OSCE's agenda in 2004 was largely set by the decisions taken at the Maastricht Ministerial Council in December 2003, particularly the OSCE Strategy to Address Threats to Security and Stability in the Twenty-First Century and the OSCE Strategy Document for the Economic and Environmental Dimension. In light of these decisions, the Bulgarian Chairmanship decided that implementation should be the main theme for the year. A major topic in 2004 was reform of the OSCE. The Chairmanship also put tolerance and non-discrimination high on its agenda, holding key events on combating anti-Semitism, racism, and xenophobia, and tackling hate speech on the Internet. Intensifying the co-operation between the OSCE and other international organizations engaged in maintaining security and stability in the OSCE area featured prominently in the activities of the Bulgarian Chairmanship. With the Organization's first mission outside its area- the Election Support Team to Afghanistan- the OSCE broke new ground under the Bulgarian Chairmanship. Mongolia was welcomed as the OSCE's newest Partner for Co-operation.
