		For the West, such meetings meant the possibility of tying the Soviet Union and its satellites to an international security system, thereby lessening tensions, furthering economic cooperation, and obtaining humanitarian improvements for the people of Eastern Europe.
		Keen to gain international recognition of its sphere of interest and believing that such recognition would solidify its grip on its East European satellite states, the Soviet Union, beginning in the early 1970s, sponsored an initiative calling for the convening of a Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE).

	NAA: Sub-Committee on the organization for security and
		It seems important, in the work of the Sub- Committee as well as in the work of the full Committee, that our approach towards problems remain focused mainly on their security aspects to avoid duplicating work that is being done by other parliamentary and inter-parliamentary organizations elsewhere.
		De facto, over the past five years the work of the Sub-Committee has focused on Central and Eastern Europe, although this was not obvious from its title.
		Indeed, the first meeting in The Hague (2-3 March 1995) had much more to do with Western than with Eastern Europe, blurring the distinction with the overall work of the Civilian Affairs Committee.

		With its long engagement in the study of European security issues, SIPRI was encouraged to contribute to the security-building process now under way by senior political figures from a number of countries and by representatives of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE).
		Organizations and institutions should be prepared to consider new types of relationship with non-member states, including association, treaty relationships and other means of outreach to open a dialogue with countries from the regions which are adjacent to Europe.
		Europe must engage the countries of its adjacent regions (North Africa, the Middle East and the Central Asian republics), which are fraught with tensions and which pose potential security problems; it must consider what can be done to structure a meaningful dialogue with the countries in these regions.

	SIPRI Yearbook 2005 - Appendix 1A. The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe: constant adaptation but enduring problems
		Appendix 1A discusses attempts to reform the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe.
		Of the five key features that used to distinguish the OSCE—comprehensive participation by the Euro-Atlantic states, legitimacy when addressing domestic issues, a focus on the whole conflict cycle, a home for otherwise isolated nations, and a relatively weak and non-constraining institutional structure—none any longer provides a unique advantage in the European context.
		A further problem is that some states have recently adopted a highly critical stance with regard to the OSCE, and pressed for sometimes retrogade ‘reforms’ apparently more as a matter of expediency than with Europe’s best security interests in view.
