Chapter 12 — Advocacy Strategies OSCE trial-monitoring programmes have also endeavoured to advance domestic training centres responsible for the continuing education of justice-system actors.187 By lending support to the development and expertise of these permanent institutions, even through “train the trainers” programmes or by channelling training through them, monitoring organizations and other education providers strengthen domestic ownership, sustainability and the efficient co-ordination of training activities. Field operations have further encouraged those responsible for training to employ adult learning and interactive methods, in order to maximize the relevance and effectiveness of the training.188 12.4.4 Supporting the development and work of domestic institutions Through their human rights and rule of law departments, alone or jointly with donors and authorities, OSCE field missions have assisted in the creation and maintenance of institutions that fill in gaps identified in the justice system. Examples of these are the legal clinic established in Baku with the support of the OSCE Mission to Azerbaijan and the support provided by the OSCE to the establishment of the Kosovo Judicial Institute, the Kosovo Law Centre and the Criminal Defence Resource Centre. Although OSCE staff charged with supporting these institutions may not be involved in trial-monitoring activities, the trial-monitoring programmes can channel their findings of systemic weaknesses to these institutions, so that they can play their part in addressing them. 189 187  For example, the OSCE Mission to Skopje has embarked on a far reaching two-year training programme for legal practitioners and aimed at improving their knowledge and skills on various topics related to international humanitarian law, including war-crimes investigation, witness protection, international fair trial standards, evidentiary issues and amnesties. 188  See also Chapter 8.4, “Training sessions”. 189  For example, findings of the OSCE Mission in Kosovo are regularly used in the training curriculum of the Kosovo Judicial Institute, which is responsible for training judges and prosecutors. 125
