Roundtable on Promoting Integrity of Border and Law Enforcement Agencies in South-Eastern Europe - Way Forward, Vienna, Austria

Description

This roundtable is organised by the TNTD's Border Security and Management Unit (BSMU) and Strategic Police Matter Unit (SPMU) in close co-operation with the Office of the Coordinator for Economic and Environmental Activities (OCEAA) and aims at taking stock of past and ongoing initiatives on integrity and countering corruption in border and law enforcement agencies in South-Eastern Europe in an effort to enhance co-ordination of future joint activities in this sphere as well as mutually complement each other’s endeavours in promoting integrity in border and law enforcement agencies in the region.

Summary

The Roundtable will convene OSCE FOs, regional anti-corruption organizations as well as state authorities dealing with law enforcement integrity. The event also will enable the participants to develop a roadmap for future OSCE initiatives on countering corruption in border and law enforcement agencies in South-Eastern Europe as well as facilitate the exchange of best practices and lessons learned.

Capitalizing on experience and findings gained in the delivery of the OSCE’s previous anti-corruption projects’ implementation, the Roundtable will explore the following avenues:

  • Development of a training curriculum on investigating and prosecuting corruption cases;
  • Discuss innovative tools for the prevention of corruption and explore the public outreach component;
  • Explore the establishment of an interactive platform to enhance co-operation between internal security/oversight departments of regional law enforcement agencies.
