Background information about the text:
The first draft was written in May-June.
On June 17 we conducted three webinars, one for Asia & Pacific, one for Europe and Africa and one for Latin & North America with a large number of speeches from 18 countries and as many organizations. This gave depth to the process. The webinars were taped and can be found here: https://helsinkiplus50.org/the-online-process/
The draft was then shared with a larger circle of organizations and individuals who made their valuable contributions to the content. Then we had a final editing process and the result is what we present here.
It was all along our goal to have the declaration finished and signed by a large number of organizations and individuals before the end of July, in time to submit it to the embassies of the 57 OSCE member states in Helsinki on 30 July 2025, just as the celebration of the Helsinki Final Act will begin in Helsinki, Finland.
The Declaration with signatures will be submitted to the embassies of OSCE member states in Helsinki on 30 July 2025.
