Today marks the 10th anniversary of this comprehensive set of guidelines.

It was almost exactly 10 years ago, on 7 November 2012, that Knut Vollebaek presented the Guidelines with these words, “All OSCE participating States are multi-ethnic. Living together with people of different cultures, ethnicities and religions is not a matter of choice; it is a fact of life. It is up to us to make the best of it.”
