4.2 Mission to Bosnia and Herzegovina Although the Mission does not have a dedicated law enforcement unit, it does provide regular support to law enforcement bodies in BiH through its core programmatic work aimed at reinforcing OSCE principles in security sector governance. It ensures that law enforcement representatives are included as participants, contributors and beneficiaries in all relevant activities and initiatives, even if they are not the exclusive intended target group. As the Mission to Bosnia and Herzegovina does not have a specific programme that supports police-related activities, involvement of law enforcement agencies is streamlined into programmatic interventions of politico-military and human dimension programs. Activities Related to General Police Development and Reform Police Development and Reform within Security Sector Reform In March, the Mission successfully finalized the project on the development of a training module for police investigators of BiH on wartime sexual violence. All final activities, which were foreseen by a project extension within the 117,000 EUR extra-budgetary project funded by the UK, aimed at bolstering the project’s impact and sustainability. All members of the Witness Protection Unit of the State Investigation and Protection Agency (SIPA) received training on trauma and handling vulnerable witnesses. On 24 March, investigators and police inspectors from SIPA and the Republika Srpska (RS), BiH, Brčko District police, and all members of the trainers’ pool established previously within this project received an additional one-day intensive training on investigation planning in cases of wartime sexual violence. These activities complemented those originally planned within the project, including the development of a learning module on wartime sexual violence investigation, the training of over 100 police investigators working on wartime sexual violence cases to extend sexual violence training to a wider reach of law enforcement officials, and the creation of a pool of 18 BiH police trainers who will deliver future trainings on the topic within the standard curricula of RS and BiH Police Academies. Strategic Planning including Threat Assessments In September, the Mission assisted the Ministry of Security of BiH in organizing three regional consultative meetings to discuss the BiH strategy for preventing and fighting terrorism and to consult a wide range of participants as part of the process of developing an action plan to prevent hate crime and counter violent extremism. Approximately 60 44 representatives of civil society, coalitions against hate, police and local media participated in the consultation process. Gender-Based and Domestic Violence On 6 November, the Mission concluded a series of ten  training courses in Sarajevo on the implementation of the BiH Law on Protection from  Domestic Violence and on the use of the database for domestic  violence cases in BiH. The training series was organized in co-operation with the BiH Gender Centre (GC  BiH), the Network of Women Police Officers, and UN Women, and included participation from more than 400 police officers, social workers and civil society representatives. The database is one of the first of its kind to be developed in the Western Balkans. The database was  developed by the Mission in 2014 with guidance from the GC BiH and a working group,  consisting of police officers, social workers and representatives of safe houses. It represents a comprehensive source  of information on all domestic violence cases and interventions in BiH that have been  reported to police, social workers, safe house representatives, and the domestic violence hotline. Hate Crime From 21-22 September, the Mission organized and delivered training for 14 young Roma activists on combating hate crimes. The training aimed at increasing awareness and understanding of hate crimes and related topics, including stereotypes, prejudice and discrimination. Young Roma activists were informed about the existence of local coalitions against hate, a legal framework on hate crimes prosecution, and available protection mechanisms, including the judiciary and the Institution of Human Rights Ombudsman of Bosnia and Herzegovina. On 5 November, the Mission, in co-operation with the two entity Centres for  Judicial and Prosecutorial Training, organized the last in a series of four hate crimes training  events for more than 80 prosecutors and criminal judges in Banja Luka. As part  of this training, also held in Mostar, Istočno Sarajevo, and Tuzla, Mission experts paired
