Thanks to all who joined our event on gender in the age of algorithms, organised with @SwitzerlandOSCE

Technology is being used to spread harmful narratives, leading to systematic gender-based violence on and off line

Vital that we collectively respond, including @OSCE

[Switzerland OSCE @SwitzerlandOSCE]

OSCE26CH |Technological progress is accelerating - faster than institutions, faster than regulation, faster than trust. New technologies are reshaping power and redefining security.💡

In times of geopolitical tension, anticipation is not optional - it is a responsibility.

Switzerland is bringing partners together in #Geneva, where science and technology meet diplomacy. 🌍🤝

Together, we explore how to harness opportunities, mitigate risks, and strengthen #trust and #security through #dialogue in a rapidly changing world.

[Permanent Mission of Hungary in Vienna @humissionviu]

𝟯𝟱 𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗱𝗲 𝗹𝗮 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲 𝗱𝗲 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘂𝗻𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲 : 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗺𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗮 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗲 𝗱𝘂 𝗺𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲́𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗺𝗲 𝗮𝘂𝘅 𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗴𝗲́𝗻𝗲́𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀

Pour marquer le 35ᵉ anniversaire de la Charte de Paris pour une nouvelle Europe, la Permanent Representation of France to the OSCE, en partenariat avec la présidence finlandaise de l’OSCE Permanent Mission of Finland to the OSCE et l’Ambassade de France en Autriche ont organisé un exercice de simulation de négociations multilatérales.

Au total, 70 élèves du Lycée Français de Vienne et de la Theresianische Akademie ont participé à cette expérience grandeur nature, sous la bienveillante supervision de leurs enseignants et de diplomates autrichien, français et du Liechtenstein. Ils ont incarné les 34 Etats signataires de la Charte en 1990.

Grâce à leur préparation, à leur concentration, leur créativité, leur agilité linguistique et leur sens du compromis, les lycéens de multiples origines nationales sont parvenus, en un temps limité, à s’entendre sur des propositions pour actualiser la Charte de Paris, dont François Mitterrand disait qu’elle avait permis à l’Europe de « prendre un nouveau départ avec ambition et réalisme. »

35 ans plus tard, cette simulation bilingue (anglais / français), s’est déroulée dans un contexte aux antipodes de celui qui prévalait alors : les principes fondateurs du respect de la souveraineté des États et du règlement pacifique des différends ont été bafoués, en Géorgie en 2008, en Ukraine en 2014, et depuis 2022, quand, sous nos yeux, la Russie a, à nouveau, choisi les armes contre son voisin pacifique ukrainien.

« C’est parce que l’histoire et la diplomatie sont nécessaires pour comprendre notre présent et préparer l’avenir, que nous avons souhaité cette rencontre avec des lycéens. » a souligné l’ambassadrice @FateneB

Dans cet esprit de transmission des principes fondateurs de la Charte de Paris aux nouvelles générations, cette initiative a permis de :

👉 Donner aux élèves une expérience concrète des mécanismes de négociation multilatérale
👉 Renforcer la compréhension des enjeux contemporains de sécurité européenne
👉 Faire du multilinguisme un outil quotidien du dialogue entre États
👉 Transmettre les principes du règlement pacifique des différends et du respect de la souveraineté des États
👉 Préparer les jeunes générations à œuvrer pour un ordre international fondé sur la justice, la coopération et le respect du droit

La Représentation permanente de la France auprès de l’OSCE est reconnaissante aux lycéens participants qui, par leur engagement, ont donné vie à cet esprit de la Charte de Paris, celui d’une Europe de paix, ouverte, démocratique et solidaire.
