fighters, as well as the importance of promoting good governance and human rights. 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.

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.
