This speech *is* one for the history books. But that’s less a compliment, than a coda.

Carney has given us the words to mark the end of the ‘rules-based order’…by acknowledging it never really existed.

It was a collective illusion. That now is over.

🇰🇬#Kyrgyzstan holds parliamentary #elections today, and ODIHR has hundreds of observers spread out across the country.

[OSCE/ODIHR @osce_odihr]

ODIHR welcomes 🇺🇦#Ukraine’s request for legal assistance on key issues related to future elections.

Whenever they take place we will be ready to observe, in line with Ukraine’s expressed hope for our presence through a joint mission with our parliamentary partners.

[OSCE/ODIHR @osce_odihr]

The withdrawal from the #coe Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence would be a serious step backward in the protection of women’s rights and a departure from shared values.

ODIHR urges the 🇱🇻Latvian authorities to reconsider.

[OSCE/ODIHR @osce_odihr]

The closure of Golos, respected for its independent election monitoring in 🇷🇺#Russia, underscores the years of pressure on civil society. ODIHR urges the authorities to ensure that civil society can operate freely, an essential element to any genuine democracy.

[OSCE/ODIHR @osce_odihr]

ODIHR is very concerned about the reported violence and arrests during the ongoing protests in #Serbia. We urge 🇷🇸 authorities to respect the right to peaceful assembly and refrain from any excessive & indiscriminate use of force, ensuring that any violations are investigated.

[EPDE - European Platform for Democratic Elections @EPDE_org]

Last week we co-hosted a two-day conference on countering fake observation & hybrid threats to election integrity and democracy itself. A huge thank you to the @EP_DEG for the great cooperation an impeccable execution, and @davidmcallister and @NachoSAmor for political support.

[OSCE/ODIHR @osce_odihr]

ODIHR wishes a good start to 2025. Working together, we can overcome division and polarisation to make this a better year for #democracy and #HumanRights across the #OSCE region and beyond.

[OSCE/ODIHR @osce_odihr]
