These Òmixed-migration flowsÓ are comprised of refugees and economic migrants who are highly vulnerable to exploitation and human trafficking. Against this backdrop, the Office of the OSCE Special Representative and Co-ordinator for Combating Trafficking in Human Beings (OSR)1 in line with its mandate and identified priorities has developed the project ÒCombating Human Trafficking along Migration RoutesÓ as a response to the current migration crisis and its linkages with human trafficking. The project aims at enhancing the capacity of interested OSCE participating States (pS) and Partners for Co-operation (PfC) to effectively investigate and prosecute trafficking in human beings (THB), as well as to promptly identify THB victims along migration routes by promoting a multi-agency and human rights-based approach. This initiative is undertaken in partnership with the Italian Carabinieri and the Centre of Excellence for Stability Police Units (CoESPU). The Project is currently funded by Andorra, Austria, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Monaco and Switzerland. 1 http://www.osce.org/secretariat/trafficking ¥ An innovative training simulation course Throughout the project, some 200 practitioners will participate in three simulation-based learning exercises at the training facilities of CoESPU in Vicenza, Italy. In November 2016, the first simulation-based training was conducted for 55 trainees. Two other live-exercises will be organized in 2017 for approximately 150 participants. The courses consist of realistic simulations of criminal cases of labour and sexual exploitation among migrants, including child victims. Each simulation scenario strives to emphasize the constitutive elements of THB (the act, the means, and the purpose). ¥ A multi-agency and human rights-based approach to counter human trafficking Targeted participants are experts from law enforcement, the judiciary, labour inspection, public social services, civil society organizations and the media. During the simulations, trainees hone their skills to pay attention both to the effectiveness of investigation and prosecution on the one hand and to the protection of human rights through a victim-centred approach on the other. An important goal of the exercises is also to promote the use of financial investigations. ¥ Consolidation and promotion of a pioneering capacity-building method Upon completion of the training activities, the OSR will develop a handbook on how to conduct simulation-based learning exercises on THB. This handbook will provide clear guidance to interested pS and PfC with innovative training exercises to enhance their capacity for human rights-compliant investigations into human trafficking. Page | 4 About the Live-Simulation Training Course Key learning objectives: -define/use key indicators for identifying human trafficking victims among mixed groups of persons; -apply a multi-agency and human rights- based approach in detecting human trafficking and identifying victims; -applythe standard operating procedures to refer victims to assistance and support; -make use of financial investigations as well as international judicial and police cooperation. Specifically, in the simulation-based course, participants will: -receive information on the general legal framework of countering human trafficking, as well as about specific indicators to identify the various forms of the crime; -learn how to apply the knowledge received in practice; -be involved in a complex simulation-based exercise to identify and investigate human trafficking, protect and assist trafficking victims in Òreal time and liveÓ. For detailed learning objectives, please refer to ANNEX 3. The simulation will include cases of labour and sexual exploitation among migrants. The simulations are developed in the current framework of mixed migration scenarios, though without country-specific references, so that they are suitable for promoting practical co-operation and joint solutions to common challenges among beneficiaries across the whole OSCE region. The training course will take place from 5 June to 9 June 2017: -the first day will focus on theoretical, methodological and technical issues related to anti-trafficking action in the migration context; -the four other days will be devoted to a live simulation exercise, in which the trainees will have to operate and to choose how to respond, according to their respective roles, to the simulated scenarios. This is an intensive simulation exercise. Participants will have to work from 8:00 to 20:00 on simulated cases of human trafficking requiring intensive work and co-operation in a multinational setting and a multicultural environment. Participants will arrive in Vicenza on 4 June 2017 and leave on 10 June 2017.

Page | 17 ANNEX 2 -Approach, Methodology and Storylines The first OSCE human trafficking simulation-based learning initiative promotes an innovative approach to capacity building, whereby anti-trafficking practitioners from both pS and PfC are called to engage in real- time simulated scenarios to identify and investigate human trafficking, thus improving synergy among key stakeholders both at the national and transnational level. Based on a multi-agency approach, selected practitioners from law enforcement, the judiciary, labour inspection, NGOs and public social services providers will be asked to put in place co-ordinated responses. Moreover, participants will be encouraged to make use of financial investigation techniques to trace and seize traffickersÕ profits. Qualified experts will coach the beneficiaries through the various stages of the training exercises. Based on realistic, expert-developed criminal scenarios to simulate cases of labour and sexual exploitation among migrants, including child victims, for the first time, participants will be exposed to the links between terrorism and trafficking. Journalists/media representatives will also be trained on preparing media materials and articles on human trafficking based on the cases investigated during the simulation exercise, ensuring a victim-centred approach and applying international best practices on human rights. STORYLINE DEVELOPMENT The storylines have been developed considering the main trends of the current human trafficking phenomenon and the recent modi operandi of transnational criminal organizations that traffic human beings along migration routes. The storylines are featured in such a way that they can fit in every context within the OSCE region,as the events are inspired by widely observed characteristics and circumstances in destination, transit or origin countries. The storylines were developed using a multi-agency approach, which implies joint work by the judiciary, law enforcement, labour inspection, financial investigation, cultural mediators, public and civil society social services providers. The planned actions pay attention both to the effectiveness of investigation and prosecution on the one hand, and to the protection of human rights through a victim-centred approach on the other hand. They also aim at fostering international legal and police co-operation. Recognizing that women, men, girls and boys are trafficked for different purposes, the methodology applied in developing the storylines encourages gender-specific and tailored responses, in the best interest of the child. It also takes into account groups that are particularly vulnerable to becoming victims of trafficking, Page | 18 including unaccompanied girls and boys as well as individuals who are targeted based on their sexual orientation or gender identity. The legal framework is provided by the fictitious Criminal and Criminal Procedure Codes of Dreamland (the imaginary country where the simulated action takes place), which are the main legal tools to be used by participants playing law enforcement as well as prosecutorial and judicial roles in the simulation. FICTITIOUS LOCALIZATION The storylines take place directly in the fictitious destination country Dreamland and indirectly in a number of other fictitious states (countries of origin and transit and others): x Warland, a country affected by strong political tensions and low-intensity conflicts between ethnic groups with serious violations of human rights. The population, particularly ethnic minorities, flee the country in search of political asylum. x Poorland, an extremely poor country with some serious social inequalities. Large groups of the population migrate illegally in search of better living conditions and job opportunities. In this process, a number of migrants fall under the control of criminal organizations. x Transaviland, a non-OSCE participating State. It is the first destination of most migrants who flee from both Warland and Poorland with the intention to reach Dreamland. Corruption is widespread among law enforcement forces, including border police, and within public services in general. The country is home to several deep-rooted transnational criminal organizations. Page | 19 x Dreamland, a rich OSCE participating State with a low unemployment rate. It is the final destination of the migrants who flee war and seek political asylum. It is also the desired destination of the migrants who flee from very poor countries, some of whom fall victim to human trafficking by criminal organizations for sexual and/or labour exploitation from the very beginning or during the migration process. x Palmland, a tax-heaven country with a low propensity to international co-operation. x Sariland, a tax-heaven country with a good propensity to international co-operation. SEXUAL EXPLOITATION STORYLINE OVERVIEW Within a setting of mixed migration flows, characterized by the simultaneous presence of migrants fleeing from war and seeking political asylum and migrants fleeing from situations of extreme poverty and in search of job opportunities, a transnational criminal organization traffics young women for sexual exploitation. For this purpose, the organization abuses the international procedures for asylum on humanitarian grounds, in order to illegally obtain residence permits for the women they have trafficked and they are now forcing into prostitution. In the simulation, a group of women is involved in street prostitution in a city of Dreamland while being hosted in a reception centre for asylum seekers. At the same time, another group of women is exploited in indoor prostitution in an apartment in another city. They arrived together in Dreamland after a stay in Transaviland, where a group of women was left behind to be exploited there. In Dreamland, the anti-trafficking stakeholders are confronted with the task of detecting the crime and identifying the presumed victims of THB by applying the SOPs. Simultaneously, they interact at the international level with relevant agencies. LABOUR EXPLOITATION STORYLINE OVERVIEW A transnational criminal organization, with branches both in countries of origin and in countries of transit and destination, recruits migrant workers (men, women and children) in order to employ them both in a large factory (1st investigative hypothesis) and in agricultural fields (2nd investigative hypothesis). The criminal organization adopts different methods to provide the migrants with a regular residence status: abusing the international asylum procedure on humanitarian grounds; abusing the family reunion procedures and using fictitious employment aimed at issuing labour stay permits. A few migrant workers remain undocumented. Page | 20 Some of the migrant workers are trafficked since the very beginning as they are recruited in their countries of origin and transferred to the destination country for the purpose of labour exploitation. Others are recruited in the destination country, where they arrived as undocumented economic migrants or asylum seekers, and where, because of their vulnerability and the lack of regularization and job opportunities, it is easy for the criminal organization to take advantage of their condition and lead them into exploitation. The anti-trafficking stakeholders are confronted with the task of investigating the crime and at the same time of identifying and protecting the presumed victims by applying the SOPs. In this framework, the role of labour inspectors is emphasized. Since the first contacts with the presumed victims, they are not associated with the police, and are therefore able to create a better and more fruitful connection with the victims. Page | 21 ANNEX 3 Ð Learning Objectives The simulation-based training aims at developing knowledge and know-how in order to build competencies for anti-trafficking action on sexual exploitation and labour exploitation. The beneficiaries will: -define/use key indicators for identifying human trafficking victims among mixed groups of persons; -apply a multi-agency and human rights-based approach in detecting human trafficking and identifying victims; -apply the standard operating procedures to refer victims to assistance and support measures and services; -make use of financial investigations to seize the perpetratorsÕ assets; -utilize international judicial and police co-operation at the different levels of counter-trafficking and victim protection.

Page | 29 ANNEX 5 Ð Who We Are The Office of the Special Representative and Co-ordinator for Combating Trafficking in Human Beings, Ambassador Madina Jarbussynova Human trafficking cuts across all three dimensions of the OSCEÕs work Ð the politico-military, economic and environmental, and human dimensions Ð and combating it therefore requires a multidisciplinary approach. The OSCEÕs political commitments provide a comprehensive framework for preventing and combating trafficking in human beings for the OSCEÕs 57 participating States. The Office of the Special Representative and Co-ordinator for Combating Trafficking in Human Beings was established in 2003 as a high-level mechanism to promote the implementation of the OrganizationÕs anti-trafficking commitments. It is a special unit within the OSCE Secretariat that provides assistance to participating States in implementing the OSCE Action Plan to Combat Trafficking in Human Beings. The OSCE Action Plan to Combat Trafficking in Human Beings and its Addendum It is the key document providing the approach and framework for the anti-trafficking efforts of the OSCE participating States. It contains core recommendations for action at the national level known as the Ò3 PsÓ: x Prevention, including awareness-raising and addressing root causes; x Prosecution, including investigation and co-operation with international law enforcement; x Protection of victimsÕ rights, including assistance and compensation. In 2013, the OSCE added a fourth ÒPÓ -a chapter on partnerships -highlighting the need for enhanced co-operation with international organizations and other partners, including on issues related to law enforcement, National Referral Mechanisms (NRMs) and joint work between public institutions and the private sector. How we work -Country visits: The Special Representative makes regular country visits to OSCE participating States and meets with government authorities, parliamentarians, representatives of the judiciary, and non-governmental organizations. A report on the country visit containing concrete and focused recommendations is produced to help the country implement its anti-trafficking commitments. -Combating human trafficking in crisis situations: This includes addressing a wide range of issues such as combating human trafficking along migration routes in the OSCE region, raising awareness of the threat among conflict-affected populations, and exploring the nexus between human trafficking and the phenomena of foreign terrorist fighters. -Increasing visibility: Participating in high-level conferences and other expert events convened by governments, international organizations, academic institutions and NGOs allows the Special Representative to raise the visibility of the OSCEÕs anti-trafficking work. -Capacity building: The Special Representative supports national authoritiesÕ efforts to address human trafficking as a transnational threat and human rights violation through facilitating capacity-building and information-sharing initiatives. Page | 30 The Centre of Excellence for Stability Police Units (CoESPU) The ÒCentre of Excellence for Stability Police UnitsÓ was established in Vicenza, in the ÒGen. A. ChinottoÓ barracks, on 1 March 2005. This Centre stems from an Italian initiative presented at the Sea Island G8 Summit and supported by other countries. It was meant to be a part of a wider project of the international community to provide technical and financial assistance so as to increase global capacity for sustaining Peace Support Operations (PSOs), with an emphasis on African countries. With this aim, G-8 members supported the Italian initiative to establish in Vicenza an international training centre in order to provide training skills for officers who will return to their countries to form police forces ready to be deployed in PSOs under the aegis of international/regional organizations or to be deployed individually. CoESPU is conducting courses on behalf of CEPOL and had the lead of the three-year EU project EUPST (20112013) in which more than 2,400 peacekeepers were trained. With the International Organization for Migration (IOM), CoESPU trained personnel in Vicenza and in Africa. As of February 2017, CoESPU has trained in Vicenza about 9,600 peacekeepers from 108 different countries and has co-operated with 17 different international organizations. Activities The CoESPU trainees are the nucleus of Peacekeeping Stability Police Forces in their respective countries. CoESPU also serves as a doctrinal hub, promoting common operational procedures and standards development necessary for the activities of police services in PSOs. CoESPU promotes inter-operability and a comprehensive approach to PSOs. Therefore, as a high educational study centre, it works as a Òthink tankÓ for standardized doctrine and operational procedures. The knowledge and skills that CoESPU attendees achieve make them eligible to be integrated in any police or integrated missions. The Centre also provides several opportunities to test and validate concepts with a specific focus on the goals established at the 2004 Sea Island Summit. CoESPU interacts with important academic and research institutions worldwide. It plays an active role in the UN Doctrinal Development Group tasked to draft a new Formed Policy Units (FPU) policy and training curricula. Structure The barracks provide modern and effective training facilities and equipment. There is a 100m shooting range, a digital simulator for Fire Arm Training System (F.A.T.S.), a well-equipped gym, a training house, an IED room and information technology classrooms. The barracks also provide: accommodations for more than 300 guests; classrooms and multimedia rooms with internet access; outdoor leisure activities; a Christian chapel and other dedicated areas for Muslim, Hindu and Buddhist religions; TV satellite rooms, a barber-shop, a laundry, a cafeteria, a library, billiards, etc. CoESPU has an external training area in Longare with buildings and infrastructures on 16 hectares to conduct tactical training in a very realistic environment (factory, jails, police station, houses, drill field in urbanized square, border crossing point, etc.).
