🇸🇪 is alarmed by credible reports that Russia systematically subjects Ukrainian children to militarization, indoctrination & other forms of repression. Today 41 @OSCE participating States invoked the #MoscowMechanism to investigate further. An expert report will be out in July.

Our sincere thanks to all human rights defenders and civil society representatives from across the OSCE area for sharing your valuable recommendations during this year’s @OSCE Human Dimension Committee meetings.

With the OSCE winter recess just ahead, heartfelt thanks to Finland 🇫🇮 for an outstanding @OSCE Chairpersonship 2025! Your leadership stood for principles, brought warmth and creativity—and even Santa🎅! Happy Holidays to all our followers, colleagues, and friends!

[Sweden in the OSCE 🇸🇪 @SwedeninATOSCE]

OSCE Human Dimension Committee’s final 2025 meeting, chaired by 🇸🇪 addressed International Humanitarian & Human Rights Law & the right to health during & after conflict. In Ukraine, Russia’s war of aggression has been widely documented involving attacks on medical infrastructure.

[Finland in the OSCE @Finland_OSCE]

Tack Sverige, för ert utmärkta ledarskap i kommittén för den mänskliga dimension detta år 🇸🇪. Som OSSE-ordförande uppskattar 🇫🇮 framför allt det inkluderande synsättet när det gäller frågor om kön, ungdomar och civilsamhället. Alltid ett nöje att samarbeta med er🙏#OSCE25FI

[Sweden in the OSCE 🇸🇪 @SwedeninATOSCE]

It’s a wrap. #OSCEMC2025 has concluded. We 🇸🇪 reiterated our support for Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity. Lasting peace and security require accountability. The world has changed since the signing of #HelsinkiFinalAct, but its principles remain valid.

[Sweden in the OSCE 🇸🇪 @SwedeninATOSCE]

Three Swedish 🇸🇪 @OSCE Ambassadors in one! Anna Olsson Vrang (2022-), Ulrika Funered (2018-2022), Fredrik Löjdquist (2012-2017).

[Anna Olsson Vrang @AnnaVrang]

@osce_odihr Rest in peace dear Kishan. Your contribution to the protection and promotion of democracy and human rights will not be forgotten.

[Sweden in the OSCE 🇸🇪 @SwedeninATOSCE]

As #WarsawHDC concludes, 🇸🇪 thanks @Finland_OSCE & @osce_odihr for organising this vital platform for following up on our joint obligations & commitments on #HumanRights & #Democracy. We highly value the chance to meet civil society & defenders from across the region. 🙏

[Anna Olsson Vrang @AnnaVrang]

@vesahakkinen @VitrenkoYuri Cool 👊

[Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs @SweMFA]

#OSCE Moscow Mechanism report finds that Russia has engaged in widespread violations of international law in its treatment of Ukrainian prisoners of war, including arbitrary killings and torture. This may equate to war crimes and crimes against humanity. Russia must be held accountable.

[Sweden in the OSCE 🇸🇪 @SwedeninATOSCE]

Deeply appalled by findings in 7th @osce_odihr interim report on Russia’s continued violations of IHL & human rights in 🇺🇦. Monitoring & 90 testimonies expose sexual violence, torture & other violations. ODIHR’s work is vital for documentation & accountability. #StandWithUkraine

[Sweden in the OSCE 🇸🇪 @SwedeninATOSCE]

Human rights defenders increasingly promote & protect #HumanRights online. Digital tools also pose risks: surveillance, harassment, attacks & censorship - in the OSCE region & beyond. Opportunities & challenges were addressed at today’s @OSCE Human Dimension Committee meeting.
