Role OBSE při pokusu o deeskalaci války na Ukrajině

Zbyněk Dubský, Radka Havlová

V průběhu ukrajinské krize se OBSE stala poměrně neočekávaně přirozenou platformou pro řešení konfliktu. Text identifikuje a obecně rozebírá jednotlivé nástroje a mechanismy, které má OBSE k dispozici v případě, že vstupuje do řešení konfliktů a aplikuje je na ukrajinský konflikt. OBSE sehrála úlohu krizového manažera a měla rovněž být fórem i aktérem o politickém urovnání krize. Byla tak schopna zastřešit aktivity mezinárodního společenství. Pokud existuje vůle účastnických států podpořená nezbytnou aktivitou orgánů OBSE, je organizace schopna zasahovat i v případě již probíhajícího násilného konfliktu. Toto může fungovat i v situaci, kdy se účastnické státy OBSE mezi s sebou považují de facto za nepřátele, jako například v případě současné krize na Ukrajině.

The Role of the OSCE in Deescalation of the War in Ukraine

The OSCE became quite unexpectedly a natural platform for resolution of the crisis in Ukraine. The text identifies and discusses the individual tools and mechanisms used by the OSCE in conflict resolution in general, and applies these general findings to the role of the OSCE in the contemporary crisis in Ukraine. The OSCE played the role of a crisis manager and simultaneously acted as a forum and actor of political settlement of the crisis, being able to act as an umbrella organization for activities of the international community in Ukraine. The organization is able to intervene also in case of an already existing violent conflict provided that the participating states are willing to negotiate about the conflict settlement and the bodies of the OSCE are willing to act. This can be applied also in case the OSCE participating states consider each other enemies as demonstrated on the case of the role of the OSCE in the crisis in Ukraine.

Keywords: OSCE, Ukraine, Crimea, European Union, conflict resolution, Russia, Donbas, Donetsk, Luhansk
