The Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE), also known as the U.S. Helsinki Commission, is an independent U.S. government agency created by Congress in 1975 to monitor and encourage compliance with the Helsinki Final Act and other Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) commitments. It was initiated by House representative Millicent Fenwick{{cite book |last1=Crump |first1=Thomas |title=Brezhnev and the Decline of the Soviet Union |date=2014 |publisher=Routledge |isbn=9780415690737 |pages=154}} and established in 1975 pursuant to Public Law No. 94-304 and is based at the Ford House Office Building.

Function and duties of Commission

The commission is authorized and directed to monitor the acts of the signatories which reflect compliance with or violation of the articles of the Final Act of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe, with particular regard to the provisions relating to human rights and Cooperation in Humanitarian Fields. The commission is further authorized and directed to monitor and encourage the development of programs and activities of the United States Government and private organizations with a view toward taking advantage of the provisions of the Final Act to expand east–west economic cooperation and a greater interchange of people and ideas between East and West.{{Usc-title-chap|22|45}}

Abstract

The Commission consists of nine members from the U.S. House of Representatives, nine members from the United States Senate, and one member each from the Departments of State, Defense, and Commerce. The positions of chairman and co-chairman are shared by the House and Senate and rotate every two years, when a new Congress convenes. A professional staff assists the Commissioners in their work.

The Commission contributes to the formulation of U.S. policy toward the OSCE and the participating states and takes part in its execution, including through Member and staff participation on official U.S. delegations to OSCE meetings and in certain OSCE bodies. Members of the Commission have regular contact with parliamentarians, government officials, NGOs, and private individuals from other OSCE participating states.

The Commission convenes public hearings and briefings with expert witnesses on OSCE-related issues; issues public reports concerning implementation of OSCE commitments in participating States; publishes a periodic Digest with up-to-date information on OSCE developments and Commission activities; and organizes official delegations to participating States and OSCE meetings to address and assess democratic, economic, and human rights developments firsthand.

History

In February 2018, the CSCE convened in Washington, DC to address the issue of Russian doping in international sport. Central to the discussion was an exploration of the need to protect whistleblowers. The meeting included testimony from Jim Walden,{{Cite web|url=https://www.c-span.org/video/?441528-1/attorney-speaks-russias-doping-program|title=Attorney Speaks Russia's Doping Program, Feb 22 2018 {{!}} Video|website=C-SPAN.org|language=en-US|access-date=2018-02-23}} attorney for Dr. Grigory Rodchenkov, the former head of Russia's anti-doping laboratory who defected to the US.{{Cite news|url=https://www.insidethegames.biz/index.php/articles/1061594/independent-us-government-agency-to-hold-hearing-on-russian-doping-scandal|title=Independent US Government agency to hold hearing on Russian doping scandal|date=17 February 2018|website=insidethegames.biz|access-date=2018-02-23}}

On 1 July 2022 Ranking Member Sen. Roger Wicker (MS) and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Romania Bogdan Aurescu co-chaired a conference on Euro-Atlantic security called "BLACK SEA SECURITY SUMMIT".{{cite news |title=BLACK SEA SECURITY SUMMIT |url=https://www.csce.gov/international-impact/events/black-sea-security-summit |publisher=CSCE |date=1 July 2022}}

On 17 October 2022, while the Russian invasion of Ukraine was in full swing, the Commission called for the State Department to submit a motion to the United Nations to end the status of Russia as a permanent member of the U.N. Security Council. This initiative was seen as a further step in the campaign of Ukrainian Ambassador to the U.N. Sergiy Kyslytsya to unseat Russia.{{cite news |last1=Morgan |first1=Ryan |title=US commission: Kick Russia off UN Security Council |url=https://americanmilitarynews.com/2022/10/us-commission-kick-russia-off-un-security-council/ |publisher=American Military News |date=17 October 2022}}

On 14 December 2022, in a bi-partisan effort, the co-chair of the commission Steve Cohen and the ranking member of the commission Joe Wilson submitted resolution 1517 to the House of Representatives wherein they recapitulated that Russia had committed "flagrant violations" of the U.N. Charter that call into question its right to hold a Security Council seat,{{cite news |title=Congressmen Wilson, Cohen introduce resolution to remove Russia from UN Security Council |url=https://www.wistv.com/2022/12/16/congressmen-wilson-cohen-introduce-resolution-remove-russia-un-security-council/ |agency=WIS News 10 |publisher=Gray Media Group, Inc. |date=16 December 2022}}{{cite news |title=US lawmakers introduce resolution to oust Russia from UN Security Council |url=https://www.aa.com.tr/en/world/us-lawmakers-introduce-resolution-to-oust-russia-from-un-security-council/2764105 |publisher=Anadolu Agency |date=15 December 2022}} and would urge President Biden, inter alia, "to direct the Department of State and other relevant Federal departments and agencies to pursue all appropriate steps with Allies, partners, and other countries to limit, suspend, or terminate the participation or membership of the Russian Federation in other organs and specialized agencies of the United Nations".{{cite news |last1=Cohen |first1=Steve |title=H.Res.1517 - Finding that the Russian Federation's presence in the United Nations Security Council violates the purposes and principles of the United Nations. |url=https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-resolution/1517/text?r=3&s=4 |publisher=congress.gov |date=13 December 2022}} On March 9, 2023, the CSCE convened a hearing with experts, to include national securilty law expert Jason Wright, to address the Holding Accountable Russian Mercenaries (HARM) Act (H.R. 506/S. 416), bipartisan legislation that would require the Secretary of State to designate the Russian-based Wagner Group (and its affiliates and successors) as a foreign terrorist organization (FTO).
