Trafficking in Human Beings Aiming at strengthening the capacity of the Law Enforcement Agencies in combating trafficking, and based on the Training Needs Assessment conducted in Armenia by OSCE, ILO and UNDP offices, the OSCE Office in Yerevan supported national experts in designing and adopting the law enforcement training of trainers methodology. During 2010, a number of seminars, training courses, round table discussions were conducted by the office on anti-trafficking-related issues for law enforcement officers, advocates, prosecutors, labour inspectors, etc. On 22-23 January, the OSCE-supported the Anti-Trafficking Support and Resource Unit (ATRSU) in conducting a two-day seminar in the city of Armavir for anti-trafficking social and law enforcement actors from the Armavir and Aragatsotn provinces. The ATRSU had been established by the OSCE Office in Yerevan at the Ministry of Labour and Social Issues. In March, the Anti-Trafficking Support and Resource Unit (ATRSU) published its 2009 Annual Report on the assistance to victims of trafficking and trafficking cases-related court hearings in Armenia. The report includes analysis of the monitoring in the mentioned areas carried out by the ATSRU lawyer and social services consultant during 2009. The report includes a list of findings and recommendations for consideration when designing further activities and/or prioritizing necessary interventions by both national and international anti-trafficking actors in the country. The Report was presented at a round table discussion in late March involving national anti-trafficking actors revising the Armenian Anti-Trafficking National Action Plan for 2010-2012. The Anti-Trafficking Training Manual for Law Enforcement Agencies in Armenia was published with support of the OSCE, ILO and UNDP. The training manual was developed for all law enforcement anti-trafficking actors, including prosecutors, police, judges, border guards and labour inspectors and was distributed among all the interested anti-trafficking actors in early April. A training of trainers will be conducted on the basis of the manual to ensure a smooth introduction of the manual into the curricula of the training schools of the different law-enforcement entities. This will contribute to the development of a locally-owned and managed training programme that serves the needs of all Armenian law enforcement entities responsible for the prevention and prosecution of human trafficking and the protection of victims. The Training Manual was presented on 26 May. The Deputy Minister of Justice, officials representing the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Police and the Prosecutor General’s Office opened the event and stressed the importance of the publication for strengthening the capacity of national stakeholders to combat trafficking in humans. On 20 August, the ATSRU, operating within a joint OSCE/Ministry of Labour and Social Issues project, conducted a one-day seminar in Yerevan for the advocates of the Chamber of Advocates of the Republic of Armenia. The aim of the seminar was to build up the capacities of the Armenian advocates when dealing with trafficking cases. On 14-15 September and 27-28 September the ATSRU conducted two-day seminars in the cities of Gyumri and Goris for the staff of the MLSI social childcare centres. The aim of the seminars was to build up the capacities of the staff of these centres when dealing with trafficking cases, particularly with regard to prevention of human trafficking and victim’s identification and referral.
