We offer our full support for the Minsk Group Co-Chairs to address the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, OSCE Chairperson-in-Office
Baku 13 January
We`ll work closely with the OSCE Minsk Group to help settlement of
Armenia-Azerbaijan, Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, OSCE
Chairperson-in-Office, Ireland`s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of
Foreign Affairs Eamon Gilmore said in his speech in the first OSCE
Permanent Council meeting of this year.
Presenting Ireland`s priorities for 2012, Deputy Prime Minister
Gilmore said I will be applying the principles of balance across the
three dimensions which are the hallmark of all successful
Chairmanships. We will be ambitious in taking forward work in all
areas in 2012 and will do everything in our power to achieve concrete
results and to deliver tangible benefits.
Ireland has always attached a particular importance to the Human
Dimension and we will approach our work in this area: working to
achieve full respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms,
democratic institutions and the rule of law, and working towards full
implementation of OSCE Human Dimension commitments.
Gilmore also pointed out that internet freedom, racism, discrimination
and intolerance in sport will be main topics, as well.
As part of these efforts, we intend to organise a Human Dimension
meeting in Dublin next June for OSCE participating States, at which we
will aim to move towards a common understanding of the issues at
stake, OSCE Chairperson-in-Office added.
On politico-military dimension of the Organisation, Gilmore underlined
that Ireland will seek to continue work on tackling transnational
threats such as organised crime, cyber threats including cyber-crime,
drugs, terrorism and trafficking as well as enhance arms control,
prevent and resolve conflicts and ensure stability and security across
the OSCE area.
As Chairperson-in-Office, I will seek ways in which progress can be
made towards lasting settlements of a number of conflicts in the OSCE
area. I have nominated two Special Representatives (Transdniestria,
South Caucasus) to assist and advise me on these issues during the
Irish Chairmanship. We also commend the continuing work of the OSCE`s
Minsk Group in addressing the long-running dispute over
Nagorno-Karabakh and look forward to working closely with the
Co-Chairs and other members of the Minsk Group during the year, Irish
Deputy Prime Minister said.
Gilmore stressed that a conference on the settlement of the conflicts
will be held in Dublin on April 27.
