Similar co-operation mechanisms with the Association of the European Police Colleges and other regional and international organizations were going to be pursued in 2012. In October 2011, the SPMU paid a visit to INTERPOL and discussed areas of co-operation. As a first outcome OSCE and INTERPOL agreed to support each other in the development of e-learning training modules and training expertise in the participating States. Throughout the year, the SPMU provided assistance to the UNDPKO in developing a UN Police standardized training curriculum on investigating and preventing sexual and genderbased violence in conflict environments. In close co-operation with criminal justice experts from the OSCE executive structures, participating States, international organizations and think tanks, the SPMU also began work on a new guidebook on Police Reform within the Reform of the Wider Criminal Justice System. The book aims at providing good practices in a holistic approach to police reform that complements relevant reform activities in other sectors of the Criminal Justice System to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of the entire criminal justice process. As part of the drafting process, the SPMU also organized the 2011 OSCE Annual Police Experts Meeting on the same topic. The book was planned to be published in 2012. Furthermore, the SPMU and ODIHR embarked on the development of a practical manual for law enforcement officers on Human Rights and the Investigation of Terrorist Crimes. In late 2011, the SPMU and ODIHR organized two pilot training courses held in Pristina and Skopje where the manual was tested. The final version of the manual was going to be developed and published in 2012 (see also Appendix 1). Moreover, the SPMU closely co-operated with ODIHR in the development of Guidelines on Human Rights Education for Law Enforcement Officials that were due to be released in 2012 (see also Appendix 1). Organized Crime in General In response to OSCE Ministerial Council Decision MC.DEC/5/06 on Organized Crime, the SPMU, in 2011, continued to be very active in dealing with organized crime topics. Throughout 2011, the SPMU represented the OSCE at the “UNTOC Conference of Parties Meetings” and at the “United Nations Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice Conference” (see also chapter 1.3). On 11-13 July, the SPMU, the OCEEA and the OSCE Centre in Astana, in co-operation with UNODC, co-hosted the fourth annual workshop on “International Co-operation in Criminal Matters for Legal Experts in Central Asia”. The event brought together over 60 practitioners from the five Central Asian States, Afghanistan, Iran and Pakistan. Experts from Australia, the Netherlands, the Russian Federation, and UNODC participated also in the event. International criminal justice experts focussed on problem areas that are common for all countries in the region: extradition and mutual legal assistance, money laundering, confiscation of criminal assets, and exchange of data from criminal records. The workshop provided participants the occasion to network and discuss opportunities for international cooperation and mutual legal assistance. The workshop was funded by the United States, Australia and Norway. 18
