The erosion of mechanisms \u201cdid not start yesterday. It\u2019s been underway over the past few years,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p> He went on to accuse the OSCE of not implementing a \u201cserious economic project\u201d in recent years \u201cthat would bring real benefits to our countries\u2019 citizens.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> The OSCE\u2019s human dimension had \u201can obvious, total distortion,\u201d he continued. \u201cThey stubbornly lash all the countries east of Vienna. What can you say, if for many years the OSCE has not even been able to develop common standards for election observation. [\u2026] Not to mention the fact that the OSCE has not reacted in any way to the illegal nature of economic sanctions, which affect citizens and their rights. I\u2019m not even talking about mobility and restrictions on the movement of citizens in the OSCE region, imposed by many western members of the organization,\u201d the minister said.<\/p>\n<p> He concluded by saying that the OSCE \u201chas turned into a battleground.\u201d \u201cThis house needs an overhaul today,\u201d Alejnik said.<\/p>\n<p>Minsk shut down the OSCE\u2019s Office in the Belarusian capital over 10 years ago. In 2020, seventeen OSCE states invoked a special mechanism to investigate human rights violations in the country.
