The conference concluded with a list of recommendations to the OSCE participating States, Partners for Co-operation and the OSCE executive structures. During the conference, the OSCE Secretary General announced the launch of a drawing competition for young creators (http://www.osce.org/letsdoodle) aimed at challenging the “black and white” thinking of violent extremism that will be conducted under the umbrella of the OSCE #UnitedCVE campaign. Under the 2016 German OSCE Chairmanship, the #UnitedCVE campaign continued to reinforce a global consensus against violent extremism. The conference attracted more than 300 participants from over 55 OSCE participating States and OSCE Partners for Co-operation. Also attending were members of 17 international and regional organizations, including various UN agencies, together with more than 60 civil society, academia and youth representatives. Activities Related to Threats Posed by Criminal Activity Counter-Terrorism & VERLT On 1 and 2 March, TNTD/ATU, in co-operation with the OSCE Office in Tajikistan, organized a seminar in Dushanbe on the ICAO Public Key Directory (PKD). This was part of an electronic passport implementation programme, and constitutes a significant tool for border control authorities to counter the illegal movement of terrorists and criminals, which is particularly important given the adoption of UNSCR 2178 and OSCE Ministerial Declaration MC.DOC/5/14. The seminar outlined all the necessary technical, operational and administrative information in support of the participation of Tajikistan in the ICAO PKD. From 7 to 11 March, TNTD/ATU organized a one-week intensive training course to increase the operational awareness of Mongolian law enforcement officers to detect forged travel documents in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. Thirtyfour officials from relevant offices, including Immigration and Border Guards, the Counter Terrorism Unit, the Criminal and Traffic Police, the Registration Office and the National Forensic Section participated in the event. The training built on the existing skills of officers related to travel document security, and focused on ways to detect counterfeit, forged and fraudulent documents, which was of particular relevance in light of the 11th Asia-Europe Meeting Summit, held in Mongolia in July. As the goal is to put a medium–long term training programme in place, this training was followed-up with a second training from 17 to 21 October.
