related activities, the promotion of human rights and gender mainstreaming remained an
integral element.
Furthermore, the police reform activities of the OSCE executive structures are increasingly
complementing reform projects that address capacity building of other key players of the
criminal justice system, such as prosecutors and judges. Such assistance has mainly taken
the form of joint training courses and conferences for law enforcement officers, prosecutors
and judges. In 2013, in order to promote a coherent OSCE methodology for implementing
such a holistic reform approach, TNTD/SPMU, in close consultations with criminal justice
practitioners, policymakers and researchers from OSCE participating States, OSCE
executive structures, international partner organizations, research institutions and nongovernmental organizations, developed an operational guidance document on Police Reform
within the Framework of Criminal Justice System Reform. This guidebook addresses the
connecting points between the relevant actors of the criminal justice system and provides
some concrete examples of practical measures on how to improve collaboration in order to
enhance the entire criminal justice process and to make police reform achievements more
sustainable. In 2014, two field operations published translations of the guidebook into the
official languages of their host States and presented the translations in the framework of
national and regional workshops.
