police strategies of participating States, and further developed the roster for female experts in the first dimension. Police-related activities of the Office of the Co-ordinator of Economic and Environmental Activities focused primarily on raising awareness of the participating States on the implementation of international legislative frameworks in the fields of good governance, 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, prosecutors and judges in the OSCE area to raise awareness about the human rights-based approach in the fight against THB, as well as about the links of THB with other forms of transnational threats such as drug trafficking, corruption, money laundering and terrorist activities. Furthermore, the Office promoted international co-operation among law enforcement agencies and among relevant international organizations, such as the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, the International Labour Organisation and the International Organisation for Migration. Activities of the Institutions In 2012, the office of the High Commissioner on National Minorities started its engagement in Kazakhstan in the field of policing ethnically diverse communities, responding to a suggestion brought forward by the Assembly of the People of Kazakhstan. The Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights continued promoting human rights in police-related activities and in the development of counter-terrorism strategies of participating States. ODIHR also focused on integrating a gender perspective in policing, ensuring freedom of peaceful assembly, combating domestic violence and trafficking in human beings, as well as combating hate crimes and improving Roma-police-relationships. All these activities were undertaken in the form of workshops, conferences, needs assessments and the publication of guideline documents.

Even though the number of community policing activities decreased considerably from 2011, by far most attention was still devoted to this area in the region. Significant attention also continued to be devoted to building national capacities in the fight against organized crime, including illicit drugs and THB, as well as on criminal investigations/analysis. 2012 witnessed a considerable increase in the number of antiorganized crime activities in comparison to police development and reform. However, the latter still stands for more than two thirds of all activities. Moreover, whereas the last two years saw a significant increase in activities related to training and capacity building, the number of activities related to strategic and legislative support decreased notably. Due to a lack of dedicated policing components, the field operations in Eastern Europe continued to implement their police-related activities and reforms within the framework of their Rule of Law and Human Rights programmes. Supported by the TNTD/SPMU, the field operations’ police-related initiatives focused primarily on the fight against THB, strategic planning and police reform, gender/domestic violence and police accountability. The number of activities addressing the fight against THB more than doubled. Around the same number 12
