Parliamentarians for Global Action (PGA) welcomes the election of Margareta Cederfelt as President of The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe Parliamentary Assembly (OSCE PA) at its  remote session on July 6, 2021.

Ms. Cederfelt, the current President of PGA, has been a member of the Swedish Parliament since 1999 and previously served as the Vice-President of the OSCE PA. In her capacity as Special Rapporteur, Ms. Cederfelt has led the international efforts exploring the circumstances of the assassination of Russian opposition leader Boris Nemtsov and evaluating the Russian government’s response.

The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, whose 57 participating States and 323 member assembly span the geographical area from Vancouver to Vladivostok, advances inter-parliamentary dialogue to advance the goal of comprehensive security.

Upon winning the election, Ms. Cederfelt promised that she would work as President for principles of accountability, inclusion, and respect for every country. “I believe that the OSCE as a security organization is unique,” President Cederfelt said. “The broad security perspective of the OSCE is a strength for us.”
