the implementation of international legislative frameworks in the fields of combating corruption, money laundering and terrorist financing. Police-related activities of the Office of the Special Representative and Co-ordinator for Combating Trafficking in Human Beings continued to focus on providing training for police agencies in the OSCE area to raise awareness about the human rights-based approach in the fight against THB. Police-Related Activities of the OSCE Field Operations 2010 witnessed a slight increase in general police development and reform activities and a significant increase in anti-organized crime activities of the OSCE, resulting in an almost balanced level of activities in both areas of police assistance. In the field of general police development and reform, most efforts of the field operations were devoted to assistance in strategic planning. Compared to the previous years, activities had more than doubled in this field. By contrast, community policing assistance significantly decreased because of far less direct involvement of field operations in South Eastern Europe and a slight decrease of activities in Central Asia. Assistance in human resource management considerably increased while at the same time activities in police accountability slightly decreased. In the other fields of police development and reform, the number of activities remained almost the same. The vast majority of the activities in police development and reform were related to legislative and strategic support and support in curriculum development. Training and capacity building activities by contrast notably decreased. The facilitation of study tours and conference participations of national stakeholders abroad played a rather minor role in the activities.3 In the field of anti-organized crime activities the biggest increase in activities took place in the fight against trafficking in human beings. Almost a third of all anti-organized crime activities focused on this issue. The fight against illicit drugs received the second greatest attention by the executive structures, followed by activities that addressed financial investigations/money laundering/asset forfeiture; travel document security; and criminal analysis/investigations. Cyber security/cyber crime and anti terrorism activities were also of particular concern to a growing number of executive structures. By contrast, forensic training projects had been mostly completed with only one training project continuing in 2010. Most of the anti-organized crime activities undertaken by OSCE executive structures focussed on the provision of specialized training in various fields of crime fighting as well as the promotion of international or regional transnational or cross-border anti-organized crime co-operation through organizing or attending conferences and workshops.4 In view of the successful projects carried out during the last decade, the number of activities in the field operations in South Eastern Europe continued to decrease and the trend continued of shifting efforts in the area of basic police reform, border and customs management and community policing towards ensuring the sustainability of the police-related achievements through national capacity building in strategic planning and the modern management of human resources. Field operations in South-Eastern Europe also continued to devote significant attention to building national capacities in the fight against corruption and transnational organized crime, including trafficking in human beings as well as cyber crime. 3 4 A graphic overview of the types of assistance provided by the various executive structures in the different fields of police development and reform is given in Appendix 3 of this report.
