This guidebook presents intelligence-led policing (ILP) as a modern and proactive law enforcement model, and a realistic alternative to traditionally reactive forms of policing for OSCE participating States. ILP, which has already been adopted in a number of countries in recent years with promising results, combines intelligence gathering, evaluation and analysis with informed decision-making procedures and mechanisms, thus providing more efficient and effective management of national law enforcement.

This report presents the representative survey findings of the OSCE-led Survey on the Well-being and Safety of Women for Ukraine. The survey was implemented in 2018 in selected countries in South Eastern Europe and Eastern Europe. The OSCE-led survey included a quantitative and qualitative component and was undertaken with the goal of providing comparable data on different forms of violence women experience in their childhood and throughout the course of their lives. The research examined violence that women experience in conflict and non-conflict settings, as well as the impact violence has on women and girls, including its lasting consequences. Questions on norms and attitudes connected to violence against women were asked to better understand the underlying causes of violence.

This Compendium of the three recent Ministerial Council Decisions on preventing and combating trafficking in human beings is designed to highlight the individual provisions of the Decisions: MC 6/17, 7/17 and 6/18.

This handbook aims to provide guidance for the police in facilitating the right to assemble peacefully. The handbook has been written primarily for police officers working in the OSCE area who have command responsibilities, at any level, for the policing of public assemblies. The handbook outlines key steps and principles for careful police work with assemblies through considered and proportionate policing, having at its core the aim of facilitating the right to peaceful assembly. It provides guidance for the successful policing of assemblies based on the requirements of international human rights law and established good practice from across the OSCE area. Although the focus of the handbook is on “assemblies”, the guidance and recommended practices are also applicable to other types of gatherings (e.g., state occasions, sporting events).
