Third Status Report: Implementation of the Action Plan on Improving the Situation of Roma and Sinti within the OSCE Area

For 20 years, the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) has been tasked by participating States to promote “full integration of Roma and Sinti communities into the societies they live in, while preserving their identity” (1998 OSCE Oslo Ministerial Decision). This year marks the 15th anniversary of the “OSCE Action Plan on Improving the Situation of Roma and Sinti in the OSCE Area”. The primary objective of the Action Plan is “to reinforce the efforts of the participating States and relevant OSCE institutions and structures aimed at ensuring that Roma and Sinti people are able to play a full and equal part in our societies, and at eradicating discrimination against them.”

This is the Status Report on progress made by participating States in implementing these commitments. It differs from the two previous reports, which were published in 2008 and 2013, respectively, and which reviewed the entire gamut of recommended actions included in the Action Plan. This report focuses specifically on Chapter VI of the Action Plan: Enhancing participation in public and political life.

A graphic summary of the report is available here.
