Human Rights Vilnius, called for the development of competencies and related standards for the implementation of human rights education. To start the development of human rights education standards, ODIHR conducted the “Moving Towards Human Rights Education Standards” workshop in Istanbul on 16 and 17 September. The workshop focused on standards for human rights training for police, civil servants and human rights activists, and marked the first time an attempt was made to develop international standards in this area. This review process of existing practices in human rights education programming is ongoing and will result in the establishment of core human rights education programme standards. Human Rights and Anti-Terrorism ODIHR continued its work in 2010 to raise awareness and understanding of human rights issues and obligations related to the fight against terrorism. Training courses for law-enforcement officers and police students on the protection of human rights while countering terrorism were carried out in Ashgabat and Skopje. The training module used was developed by ODIHR and is aimed at providing public officials and counter-terrorism practitioners with a better understanding of the main human rights issues that arise while addressing terrorism and ways to ensure the protection of human rights in line with international standards and OSCE commitments. Since its introduction in 2005, the course has been delivered in 11 participating States: Austria, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Serbia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine and the United Kingdom. Two training courses on human rights and border control were also delivered in co-operation with the OSCE Border Management Staff College in Tajikistan. The courses aimed at providing officials within the border patrols, customs services and anti-drug-trafficking agencies with a solid understanding of human rights law, policies and practices and their application to border control, with a view toward ensuring efficient and successful border-control regimes. ODIHR also delivered presentations at a number of international and regional conferences and seminars on violent extremism and radicalization leading to terrorism, highlighting that policies and practices to counter these can only be effective if they respect international human rights standards. Human Rights and the Armed Forces ODIHR continued to organize roundtable events to publicize the recommendations and good practices contained in the ODIHR/DCAF Handbook on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedom of Armed Forces Personnel. A Serbian-language version of the Handbook was launched in Belgrade on 20 May, in co-operation with DCAF and the OSCE Mission to Serbia. An event discussing the implementation of the Georgian military disciplinary code was held on 29 June in Tblisi, in co-operation with the Georgian NGO Justice and Liberty. An Albanian-language version of the Handbook was launched on 15 November in Tirana, in co-operation with DCAF and the OSCE Presence in Albania. The Handbook was also presented to the Turkmen authorities on 30 November in Ashgabat, in co-operation with the OSCE Centre in Ashgabat. These events raised awareness of the need for improvements in the protection of the human rights of armed forces personnel, and government and civil society actors at all events recognized the value of ODIHR’s policy advice in this area. Albania became the second participating State, after Armenia, to commit to including the Handbook in the curriculum of its military academy. On 14 October, ODIHR representatives, including two members of the OSCE Panel of Experts on Freedom of Religion or Belief, provided advice to the government of Belarus in the consideration of a law on alternative service, at an event organized by the OSCE Office in Minsk. At the invitation of the OSCE Forum for Security Co-operation, the Handbook was also presented at the annual Regional Seminar on the Code of Conduct on Politico-Military Aspects of Security for Eastern European participating States, from 21 to 23 September in Minsk. Anti-trafficking In 2010, ODIHR continued to focus on strengthening respect for the rights of trafficked persons and the prevention of human trafficking through human rights protection. Particular attention was paid to trafficking for labour exploitation, which is only slowly being addressed throughout the OSCE region. In particular, the Office’s activities continued to support effective access to justice and remedies, ODIHR Annual Report 2010 41
