Presentation of OSCE

On 3 July 1973, the CSCE (Conference on Security and Co-operation in Europe) was created. Following the fall of Communism, it started to evolve into the OSCE; this re-christening was decided on 6 December 1994 and took effect on 1 January 1995. So it is probably accurate to state the flag was introduced on that date.

Flag of OSCE

The flag is mentioned all over the OSCE web site but never clearly shown.

Presumably a CSCE flag existed prior to 1994, which used the same design with the different letters.
