terrorism, effective policies and countermeasures, and community-based approaches. The event was designed to improve know-how and operational methods; acquire knowledge of international best practices and the international co-operation framework in this sphere; and develop relevant skills and knowledge about current trends in terrorist activities. In response to emerging cyber security threats and in order to provide practical experience in database protection and investigation of cyber attacks, the PCU organized an international training on cyber security and investigation of cyber attacks on 18 November, covering such issues as critical infrastructure cyber security, cyber fraud investigation and national cyber security strategies, for 25 SBU officers. The training targeted SBU experts and investigators and was conducted by prominent national SBU-invited experts and specialists from the US Embassy in Kyiv. Special sessions were devoted to a survey of modern malicious software and its primary analysis facilities, the FBI Legal Attaché Office and 24/7 Preservation Network and the MLAT Process/Explanation and Electronic Evidence Procedures. Trafficking in Human Beings During 2014, the PCU and the Ukrainian Ministry for Social Policy launched the second phase of the multiplication of the state-led national referral mechanism (NRM) in the Ukrainian regions of Chernivtsi, Khmelnitsky, Vynnytsia, Luhansk, Donetsk, Kharkiv, Zhytomyr, Rivne, Volyn, Sumy, Kirovohrad, Kyiv and the city of Kyiv. To discuss the plans of the project implementation, round tables involving key regional NRM stakeholders and PCU project staff were held in 11 of the above NRM multiplication regions. In total, over 300 hundred attendees participated in these events, including more than 30 law enforcement officers from specialized anti-trafficking and public security departments, as well as criminal police covering child-related issues. As a result of capacity building efforts and awareness raising-activities within the NRM multiplication in 2014, 27 persons were granted the status of a victim of trafficking in human beings (ten women, 12 men and five children). On 13-14 November, the PCU, in co-operation with the Ukrainian Ministry of Interior, General Prosecutor’s Office and High Specialized Court for Civil and Criminal Cases, conducted an international conference for approximately 140 participants to discuss challenges in the prosecution of trafficking in human beings. The conference brought together representatives of the specialized anti-trafficking police departments, investigators, prosecutors and judges from all regions of Ukraine. The experts from Dutch, Finnish, Israeli, Moldovan and UK police and prosecutorial authorities shared their experience in addressing various forms of human trafficking with their Ukrainian counterparts. Particular focus was on ensuring a co-ordinated and victim-centred approach to prosecution of all forms of human trafficking, including trafficking for labour exploitation and removal of organs, and ways to address new trends, e.g. increased risks of trafficking in the context of the current crisis situation, including among Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs). The PCU continued facilitating the translation of criminal files related to trafficking in human beings and cybercrime cases obtained within the mutual legal assistance procedure by specialized police units of the Ukrainian Ministry of Interior, with ten such files translated in 2014. The PCU also supported the participation of representatives from the Ukrainian Ministries of Social Policy and Interior as well as Ombudsperson in two OSCE Vienna- and Warsaw-based events, the HDIM29 on 1-3 October and the 14th Anti-Trafficking Alliance on 4-5 November. 29 118 Human Dimension Implementation Meeting.
