About

The training focuses on the intrinsic link between the protection of human rights and the effectiveness of measures to prevent and counter violent extremism and radicalization that may lead to terrorism (VERLT) at the local/community level. The course is intended for local police officers. The participants will analyze the risks originating from human rights violations and their negative impact on the short- and long-term effectiveness of policing practices. The subjects to be discussed include safeguards for the treatment of suspects in detention, human rights issues linked to policing practices such as stop and search, police engagement with local communities and detrimental effects of stereotypes in policies and practices to prevent and counter VERLT.

The training builds on a standard ODIHR police training curriculum, complemented with modules from the OSCE/ODIHR guidebook Preventing Terrorism and Countering Violent Extremism and Radicalization that Lead to Terrorism: A Community Policing Approach. A combination of individual and group exercises will engage participants in interactive and practice-oriented activities closely linked to their operative duties.
