  Religious Actors advocating Human Rights in the Helsinki process - Part II

  New research perspectives on the non-state actors in view of the 50th anniversary of the Helsinki Final Act (1975–2025)

  The Conference for Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE) born of the Helsinki Agreements (1973-75) is often described as one of the main diplomatic achievements of the détente era, and a crucial milestone towards ending the Cold War.

Non-state actors and NGOs also did their share by lobbying CSCE staff and conference attendees for Human Rights and Religious Freedom violations behind the Iron Curtain or they started political discussion processes in the public sphere of their respective countries.
