The OSCE is the world’s largest regional security organization. The OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) works across the OSCE region to strengthen security by protecting and promoting democracy and human rights.
The delegation receiving Sandborg and Kerr on behalf of WCC general secretary Rev. Prof. Dr Jerry Pillay included Carla Khijoyan, WCC programme executive for Peacebuilding in the Middle East, and Marianne Ejdersten, WCC director of communication.
They presented the work of the WCC worldwide, with a special focus on the Middle East, Ukraine, Russia, and Armenia, and gender-based violence in war situations. The WCC delegation also addressed the plight of a detained bishop in Zambia, Bishop Trevor Mwamba, former Anglican Bishop of Botswana who was arrested after the presidential election on 13 August, and is still being detained.
