Abstract

This contribution examines mediation efforts undertaken by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) in the context of the current crisis in and around Ukraine. It describes the establishment and evolution of the Trilateral Contact Group (TCG) and the mediated peace talks on the conflict in eastern Ukraine – the Minsk Process. Drawing from the author’s insider perspective, it sheds light on the unique aspects of the framework compared to classical mediation processes. It argues that, due to its connectivity with high-level diplomacy as well as its ability to adapt to a constantly evolving conflict, the Minsk Process represents a valuable, flexible, at times untypical, mediation framework.

乌克兰危机与调解:不是一切照旧

这篇文章审查了欧洲安全与合作组织(欧安组织)在乌克兰境内及其周围当前危机的背景下所进行的调解努力。报告介绍了三方联络小组(TCG)的建立和演变，以及通过调解就乌克兰东部冲突进行的和平谈判——明斯克进程。从作者的内部角度来看，它揭示了与经典调解过程相比，框架的独特方面。它认为，由于其与高层外交的联系以及适应不断演变的冲突的能力，明斯克进程代表了一个有价值的、灵活的、有时是非典型的调解框架。

期刊介绍： Security and Human Rights (formerly Helsinki Monitor) is a quarterly journal devoted to issues inspired by the work and principles of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE). It looks at the challenge of building security through cooperation across the northern hemisphere, from Vancouver to Vladivostok, as well as how this experience can be applied to other parts of the world. It aims to stimulate thinking on the question of protecting and promoting human rights in a world faced with serious threats to security.
