Abstract
"The ODIHR-DCAF project to develop this Handbook on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms of Armed Forces Personnel was inspired by the OSCE Code of Conduct on Politico-Military Aspects of Security. This document, adopted by the participating States in 1994, requires states to “reflect in their laws or other documents the rights and duties of armed forces personnel” and to “ensure that the military, paramilitary and security forces personnel will be able to enjoy and exercise their human rights and fundamental freedoms”. It also requires participating States to “provide appropriate legal and administrative procedures to protect the rights of all its forces personnel”. As the world’s largest regional security organization, the OSCE is uniquely positioned to address the issue of human rights of members of the armed forces. In our comprehensive approach to security, the protection and promotion of human rights and fundamental freedoms is an integral precondition for regional stability and security."
