This article examines several important aspects of conflict prevention sphere, rules and mechanisms used by the OSCE, by highlighting an essential dimension, the human one. The article examines the role and duties of the High Commissioner for National Minorities within the organisation and underlines diplomatic work in the area of responsibility. Furthermore, through its attention to the human dimension, the OSCE has helped to shape new elements of security, redefining ways of conflict prevention.
