The ODIHR is responsible for the human dimension throughout the OSCE area, working in the fields of election observation, democratic development, human rights, tolerance and non-discrimination, and the rule of law.   Among its activities, ODIHR commitment is focused on addressing hate crime and the security needs of at-risk communities, including religious and belief communities, throughout the OSCE region. In particular, it offers support to these vulnerable groups through monitoring, capacity building, and creating spaces for dialogue and non-discrimination promotion.   Its recent publication, Belief, Dialogue and Security, emphasizes the crucial role of interfaith dialogue in fostering cooperation across religious and belief boundaries. By focusing on shared values, this publication offers a practical guideline to create an enabling environment where cross‑community consultations, dialogues and joint actions can mitigate security risks while encouraging mutual understanding across the OSCE region.   At SHRINEs, we stand by ODIHR mission to promote interreligious dialogue and mutual respect among all beliefs as corestones to ensure the security and the protection of places of worship.

Through the collaboration with Transcrime, the project has gained critical insights into the wide array of security risks, including those motivated by political and religious extremism. Their expertise has been pivotal in identifying key vulnerabilities, empowering the SHRINEs Project to design and implement effective strategies to safeguard these spaces and enhance their security. #Placesofworship #protection #EUSecurity #BeSAFE
