International activities sharing of ideas took place in close cooperation with the International AntiCorruption Academy (IACA). The delegation was particularly interested in how the AOB prepares its recommendations and in its perspective regarding the increasing privatisation of public services. They also showed a keen interest in the television programme BürgerAnwalt. Other bilateral meetings that took place were with the ombudsman of the Sindh Province, Pakistan, as well as with the Mexican and Cuban ambassadors to Austria. 4.2.7 Events A lively sharing of ideas and experiences with international organisations at lectures and panel discussions marked the period under review. The publication “Young People and their Rights” was presented at the 27th session of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva on 10 September 2014, and on 9 September 2014, during meetings at the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) in Vienna about children’s rights and Austria’s NPM experience, as well as during working visits by CPT representatives. Furthermore, discussions with representatives of diplomatic missions of European and overseas states and partner ombudsman institutions expand the range of the NPM’s work and open up new possibilities for collaboration, partnerships and future activities. Dialogue partners and guests have particularly emphasised the exemplary organisation of the Austrian NPM and have paid tribute to its form and resources. An example of viable cooperation and human rights education is the workshop with representatives of civil society on the topic of “Police.Power. Human Rights”. It builds on an existing good tradition and opens up new paths for cooperation, especially those that go beyond ongoing working groups and meetings within the NPM. Viable cooperation and human rights education Collaboration with the Viennese adult education centres has a very good basis that has provided the opportunity to transparently present the monitoring and preventive activities of the NPM, particularly in connection with the initiative “Vienna becomes a human rights city”, as well as in numerous panel discussions. The opening of the new visitor and information centre VA.TRIUM at the premises of the AOB is an impressive signal for human rights education and the promotion of human rights awareness. 27
