This handbook aims to provide the educational content that will serve as the basis for in-service training and as the supplement to basic and specialist training courses that already include lessons in police ethics. It is designed as a kind of tool and guide that will enable police officers to enhance and improve their professional, ethical and law-based conduct.
This brochure intends to make a distinction between freedom of expression and hate speech, both from a terminology and a legal point of view, as well as to differentiate them from other related concepts, such as defamation and insult.
This book is about the nature of police capacity-building and its specific role in support of the process of reform in police organizations in transition states, particularly those in a post-conflict period.
The report provides information about police capacity- and institution-building undertaken by the OSCE field operations in support of their respective host-State governments and describes the development of activities of the SPMU.
The report deals chiefly with developments since February 2002 deriving from the decisions of the Permanent Council to appoint police affairs staff to the Secretariat and proposals for the organization’s future mode of operation.
