1 August 2025 will mark the 50th anniversary of the signing in Helsinki of the Final Act of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE), the so-called Helsinki Final Act. The successor to the Conference, the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), was established in 1994.
