Due to a lack of dedicated police capacities, the field operations in Eastern Europe continued to implement their police-related activities within the framework of their Rule of Law and Human Rights programmes. Supported by the SPMU, the field operations’ police-related initiatives focused primarily on police accountability, police-public partnerships as well as on training in the fight against trafficking in human beings. The field operations in the Southern Caucasus further increased their community policing activities aiming at expanding project implementation in more project sites across the host countries. Capacity building of relevant government agencies and civil society groups in the fight against human trafficking was also high on the agenda of both field operations in this region. Both field operations also addressed, to a lesser extent, the issues of cyber security and drug fighting. While the Office in Baku also devoted notable capacity building efforts on public order management training and the fight against terrorism, the Office in Yerevan particularly focused on awareness raising among relevant stakeholders about the police reform process, as well as on the modernization of the educational system. Police-related activities continued to increase in Central Asia with anti-THB activities being a common activity in all the field operations. These activities targeted both, law enforcement and other government agencies as well as civil society in fighting THB and protecting the victims of THB. The development of police educational systems was also a topic that most field operations focused on, including an emphasis on human rights issues in police training. Enhancing law enforcement capacities in the fight against drugs was also on the policerelated agenda of most of the field operations in Central Asia. Other police-related activities focused, inter alia, on capacity building in the prevention of terrorism, the enhancement of travel document security, and the improvement in crime investigations, including financial investigations. In addition to Kyrgyzstan, the concept of community policing was also promoted in Tajikistan. In these two countries the field operations also continued to prepare the ground for comprehensive police reform, addressing the legal, structural and operational aspects of police reform alike. While police-related activities further increased in Central Asia in general, project implementation in Kyrgyzstan was severely hampered in the first half of the year. The violent civil conflicts in April and June 2010 as well as the political situation prior to the parliamentary elections in October 2010 led to the cancellation, delay, or less comprehensive implementation of some envisaged activities. By the end of the year, the situation had stabilized however, and the OSCE was also able to start deployment of the Community Security Initiative to Kyrgyzstan. Police-Related Activities of the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights In 2010, the ODIHR continued promoting human rights in the development of counterterrorism strategies of participating States. Other police-related activities focused on integrating a gender perspective in policing, combating domestic violence and trafficking in human beings, monitoring places of detention; combating hate crimes and improving Romapolice-relationships. All these activities were undertaken in the form of workshops, conferences, needs assessments and the publication of guideline documents. ****** 12
