Appendix 1 From 24 to 26 April, ODIHR delivered a three-day ToT course on TAHCLE for nine police officers (four women and five men), in Reykjavik, Iceland. 5 This activity was implemented in the framework of a MoU between ODIHR and the Ministry of the Interior of the Republic of Iceland, the National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police and the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions of the Republic of Iceland, signed in December 2016. ODIHR delivered the key modules of the programme including the definition of hate crime, international and national legal framework, role of the police in preventing of and responding to hate crimes. In their feedback, the participants appreciated the interactive format of the training and possibility to freely express their opinions and engage in lively discussions on the topic. From 1 to 3 August, ODIHR, in co-operation with the European Network of Police Women, delivered three-day ToT on hate crimes at the Irish Police Academy in Templemore, Ireland. The training gathered an international group of 22 police officers and police trainers, including 15 women and seven men, from seven participating States. The purpose of the training was to equip participants with knowledge and skills to recognize, record and respond to hate crimes. The event also was an effective means to promote the TAHCLE programme in the participating State through the participants. Following the training, several countries expressed interest in TAHCLE (e.g. Ireland, Spain). Currently ODIHR is exploring opportunities to implement TAHCLE in the interested participating States. In September, the Ministry of Interior of the Slovak Republic (MoI) signed an agreement with ODIHR to implement TAHCLE. The agreement envisaged customization of the standard TAHCLE Curriculum in co-operation with the National Implementation Working Group, translation into the Slovak language, and delivery of a three-day ToT. The ToT was held from 28 to 30 November on the premises of the Slovak Police Academy in Bratislava. ODIHR trained 29 participants, including six women and 23 men, from the MoI, Academy of Police Force, National Counter Terrorism Unit, Secondary Schools of Police Force, Regional Directorates of the Police Force and National Centre for Human Rights. It is envisaged that the participants will continue disseminating TAHCLE through delivering training sessions to their colleagues as a part of in-service training and to the students of the Police Secondary Schools and the Police Academy as a part of preservice training. The dissemination is planned for 2018. On 12 and 13 September, within the framework of ODIHR’s “Building a Comprehensive Criminal Justice Response to Hate Crime” project6, a TAHCLE session was held in Milan, Italy, in co-operation with the Observatory for Security against Acts of Discrimination (OSCAD) and the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart.7 Twenty-four law enforcement professionals (seven women and 17 men), representing the State Police and Carabinieri from the Lombardy region, participated in the session. The training materials were customized to the needs of the Lombardy region and included real-life cases collected by OSCAD and UNAR (National Office against Racial Discrimination). Evaluation of the event demonstrated raised awareness and comprehension from the vast majority of participants on the meaning of prejudice, stereotyping, discrimination and hate crime. Several participants underlined that the knowledge would prove useful in their daily work, and that there is a need to train other relevant stakeholders in order to achieve satisfactory results in addressing hate crime. Throughout 2017, ODIHR continued implementation of its “Turning Words into Action to Address Anti-Semitism” project.8 Within the framework of a project component which aims to address anti-Semitic hate crimes, a guide was published on “Understanding Anti-Semitic Hate Crimes and Addressing the Security Needs of Jewish Communities”. The guide lays out practical steps that governments should take in co-operation and partnership with Jewish communities to address their security needs. The guide is part of a wider effort to improve the capacity of law enforcement officials and institutions in addressing the security needs of Jewish communities. In addition, the guide deals with related issues such as underreporting and recording of anti-Semitic hate crimes. Based on this guide, awareness-raising workshops were held on 6 July for 25 police officers and Jewish community security focal points, including five women and 20 men, in Vienna, Austria; on 5 September, for 28 participants from the Nordic countries, (eight women and 20 men), in Helsinki, Finland and on 20 September for 27 participants (seven women and 20 men), in Zakopane, Poland. These events increased awareness of the security needs of Jewish communities and provided a platform for discussion on enhancing collaboration between law enforcement and Jewish communities in addressing anti-Semitic hate crime and increasing security. The impact of the Guide will be amplified through the development of an online training module for law enforcement on anti-Semitic hate crime, in co-operation with A Jewish Contribution to an Inclusive Europe (CEJI).
