2010
It is official. Kazakhstan will assume chairmanship of the OSCE in 2010, the bid for 2009 having failed.
Inform.kz, the official news agency of the government puts it optimistically, preferring to focus on the positive outcome rather than the failure and quotes the Kazakhstan delegation’s report:
We consider that the selection of Kazakhstan to the post of the OSCE head will have multiplicative effect for the complex modernization of our country, and renewal of the organization for the welfare of all its participants.
The vote for 2010 was unanimous. Kazakhstan will be the first non-European nation to lead the organization.
Meanwhile, Human Rights Watch has issued press release condemning the decision on the grounds that the nation does not meet OSCE commitments and cites election practice and crackdowns on opposition media.
