Bringing together 323 parliamentarians from across the OSCE region, including Estonia, Europe, Asia, and North America, the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly (PA) provides a forum for parliamentary dialogue, leads election observation missions, and strengthens international co-operation to uphold commitments on political, security, economic, environmental, and human rights issues.
