This document focuses on how the principles set out in legislation apply to the use of the Internet, including social media, as an investigative tool.

The publication includes findings of the first national perception survey with women in North Macedonia and responses from the two focus groups discussions with victims of sexual extortion conducted in 2021. Some of the questions answered by the respondents include whether women recognized sextortion by public sector employees in exchange for provision of a public service as a form of corruption, if the officials in a position of power tended to request sexual services instead of money/bribes in order to provide the public service obliged to provide in accordance with the Laws, if sextortion was present in the private sector as well, as well as if respondents would report their own or someone else’s experience with this form of corruption. Findings of the report are intended to support the debate and eventually lead to criminalization of sexual extortion as an act of corruption in North Macedonia.

ODIHR’s publications, factsheets, and practical guides are vital tools to assist all those working to strengthen democracy and human rights across the OSCE. The Office's 2022 publications covered a wide range of topics, including human trafficking, parliamentary integrity, the right to peaceful assembly, election observation, promoting the political participation of people with disabilities, combating hate crime, Roma inclusion, and many more. Others were translated for the first time into other languages of the OSCE region.

This research represents a continuation of the OSCE Mission to Montenegro activities on the support program for the further improvement and efficiency of the overall capacities of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Police Directorate, which should be developed into a professional, democratic, responsible and efficient service in which the society has full confidence. Similar public opinion surveys on the perception of the police, integrity and professionalism of police officers were conducted in 2019, 2020 and 2021.

Disasters and hazards are a great threat to all, whether caused by natural phenomena or humans. However, societal inequalities make some of us more vulnerable to their detrimental effects than others. Gender and disability are two factors that affect vulnerability.
