In 2014, Switzerland will take up the Chairmanship of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE). Here, the Helsinki + 40 process is of the essence. As a process that examines how the OSCE can implement the Helsinki Final Act goals in the current era, Helsinki + 40 is part of a broader effort to enhance mutual security in the wider European or Euro-Atlantic area. Recent years have seen a number of initiatives launched that aim to identify major security concerns and contribute to improving the efficiency of the security institutions in addressing them. As a result of these initiatives, a number of reports have been published.While the probability of a major conventional war in Europe is no longer seen as a threat, the reports view conventional arms and protracted conflicts as primary security issues. Transnational security threats and economic security challenges are considered secondary concerns. The focus of the reports is, therefore, on the security of states and the global commons. States and their regional institutions, notably the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), the European Union (EU) and the OSCE in that order of importance, are viewed as the most significant security providers. Russia is overwhelmingly seen as part of the solution to addressing the most urgent military security concerns. As such, addressing Russian threat perceptions is seen as critical.The OSCE takes on particular importance in the majority of reports that seek to repair or partly restructure the existing security governance system, rather than overhaul it. Proposed initiatives to improve the OSCE’s performance that also provide input for the Helsinki + 40 process relate largely to conventional arms control and confidence- and security-building measures (CSBMs), the resolution of protracted conflicts, overcoming historical enmity, addressing new aspects of the OSCE’s human, economic and environmental issues, as well as cyber security. The engagement of civil society and employing new technologies are also viewed as innovative means of addressing both older and newer security challenges.Based on a mapping of the reports, a number of recommendations are made in connection to the upcoming Swiss OSCE Chairmanship.
