Appendix 1 Activities Related to Threats Posed by Criminal Activity Counter-Terrorism & P/C VERLT From 20 to 22 June, ODIHR held a training workshop in Malaga for 22 mid-to-higher officers (20 men, two women) from Spanish local police forces, as part of its work on human rights and anti-terrorism.12 The training focused on the link between human rights and the P/C VERLT, providing officers with an opportunity to analyze the risks of human rights violations and their negative impact on the short and longterm effectiveness of policing to P/C VERLT. The training built on ODIHR’s standard human rights and counter-terrorism training curriculum and included additional modules based on TNTD and ODIHR Guidebook Preventing Terrorism and Countering Violent Extremism and Radicalization that Lead to Terrorism: A Community Policing Approach.13 On 21 and 22 November, ODIHR conducted another training course in Tirana for 22 counter-terrorism officers of the Albanian State Police (19 men and three women), with the assistance of the OSCE Presence in Albania. The event, which focused on “Complying With Human Rights Standards and Effectively Countering Terrorism”, combined practiceoriented and interactive sessions. It highlighted how failure to respect human rights may jeopardize counter-terrorism policing and how, in turn, human rights compliance can strengthen its overall effectiveness.14 From 11 to 15 December, ODIHR, in co-operation with TNTD, organized a ToT workshop in Warsaw on human rights and counter-terrorism investigations. This was a part of a joint ODIHR and TNTD project for the development of a new training curriculum for police officers, focusing specifically on various human rights issues arising at the different stages of a counter-terrorism investigation. The ToT aimed to build a dedicated pool of qualified trainers for the delivery of future training sessions on the basis of the new training curriculum. With the establishment of a pool of trainers as a result of the ToT, the new curriculum is now ready to be rolled out in participating States. Border Security and Management / Customs ODIHR’s work under its freedom of movement portfolio on identity management and population registration, linked to work on security of identity and travel documents, continued in 2017.

It highlights good practices in identity management, both in providing evidence of identity in the issuance of travel documents and identity cards and in ensuring access to economic, civil and political rights. It was launched as part of the OSCE-wide Seminar on Passenger Data Exchange held in Vienna on 29 September 2017. The publication is the result of consultations initiated in 2013, and the subsequent development process included a series of expert meetings and information collection through a detailed questionnaire distributed to all participating States in August 2016. On 8 November, ODIHR organized a seminar in Kyiv on “Strengthening links between civil identification and civil registration in Ukraine”. The aim of the seminar was to facilitate better co-ordination between the Ministry of Internal Affairs, in charge of civil identification, and the Ministry of Justice, responsible for the civil register, to provide a robust mechanism for identity verification in the process of issuance of travel and identity documents. The seminar gathered 13 representatives (seven women and eight men) from the State Migration Service, Ministry of Justice and the civil society organization Europe without Barriers. The meeting contributed to developing a shared understanding by the State Migration Service and the Ministry of Justice of the importance of continued close co-operation to develop a secure framework for issuance of travel and identity documents. On 16 November, ODIHR, in partnership with TNTD, participated in the “Working party meeting on Frontiers/ False Documents” in Brussels, organized by the Estonian Presidency of the EU. The event brought together representatives of identity management authorities from EU Member States as well as the representatives from private sector and other international organizations. ODIHR and TNTD presented the Compendium of Good Practices in Identity Management in the OSCE Region highlighting different approaches by participating States to developing national frameworks for identity management that informs the process of issuance of travel documents. The European Commission authorities as well as the Estonian Presidency recommended the Compendium as a useful tool in supporting 15 See http://www.osce.org/odihr/346906. 143
