facilitating projects on domestic violence and the integration of women in police services. The Gender Section continued to raise awareness of OSCE staff and participating States on gender issues by organizing side events during OSCE meetings. The Section also reviewed progress and shortcomings in meeting the commitments of the 2004 OSCE Gender Action Plan. Police-related activities of the Office of the Co-ordinator of Economic and Environmental Activities included initiatives addressing the issues of terrorist financing, money laundering and corruption. The Office promoted mechanisms and standards to combat these crimes. The Office of the Special Representative and Co-ordinator for Combating Trafficking in Human Beings (OSR/CTHB) focused on fostering the exchange of experience among criminal justice institutions on the prosecution of trafficking offenders as well as the investigation of sexual crimes and protection of victims. Additionally, the Office continued to organize capacity building events for prosecutors, law enforcement officers, lawyers, military personnel and border guards. The OSR/CTHB advanced co-operation with the TNTD in the area of combating human trafficking and enhanced co-operation within the Alliance against Trafficking in Persons. Activities of ODIHR The Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) continued to promote the inclusion of human rights into the teaching and training curricula of police institutions. A centrepiece of such activities continued to be the Office’s comprehensive Training against Hate Crimes for Law Enforcement (TAHCLE) programme. ODIHR also organized training events and provided legislative and strategic support to ensure the protection of human rights in the fight against human trafficking and terrorism. Other ODIHR activities supported the fight against gender-based violence and gender discrimination in policing and promoted further improvement of Roma-police relationships. In addition, ODIHR conducted numerous monitoring and capacity building activities to ensure freedom of peaceful assembly.

Due to the recent adoption of new Criminal Procedure Codes in countries of the region, which introduced the concept of prosecutor-led investigations into criminal proceedings, field operations continued to devote significant effort to enhancing the collaboration of law enforcement and judicial authorities in criminal proceedings, particularly in Serbia and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. Activities aiming to address hate crime and strategic planning were also prevalent. In the field of organized crime, criminal analysis and investigations and the fights against THB, illicit drugs and cybercrime received the most attention. In 2014, the field operations in Eastern Europe focused in part on monitoring and accountability, largely due to the conflict situation in both Moldova and Ukraine. In Moldova, support was mostly related to the settlement of the Transdniestria conflict and activities countering domestic violence. In Ukraine, monitoring and accountability activities were related to the prevention of torture and ill-treatment in detention facilities. Countering trafficking in human beings remained the dominant area of police assistance regarding transnational threats, with cybercrime also well represented. In the South Caucasus, significant differences existed between the two field operations in this region. While four-fifths of all activities in Armenia were in the area of police development 15
