522388 OSCE Centre in Ashgabat

The promotion of a digital transport corridor and its effective management during emergencies were discussed at an online seminar organized by the OSCE Centre in Ashgabat from 6 to 7 July 2022.

The objective of the two-day seminar was to highlight best practices of the OSCE participating States in ensuring sustainable transport and logistics chains during emergencies. The event also facilitated discussions on key developments in the expansion of international freight transportation in Central Asia and the Caspian region.

The seminar brought together representatives from the Ministry of Finance and Economy, Railway, Air, Road, and Maritime and River Transport Agencies and other state institutions and non-governmental organizations.

The event was facilitated by three international experts who emphasized the role of digital transport corridors in ensuring sustainable transport and logistics chains during and after emergencies such as the COVID-19 pandemic, demonstrated the digital transformation of data and documents exchange and shared experiences of multimodal digital transport corridor Black Sea - Baltic Sea.

The experts briefed participants on trends and developments in the digitalization of road transport and information exchange in light of lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on global logistics and transportation systems. They also familiarized participants with new standards for digitalization of data exchange and UN specialized tools for international multimodal transport.

“Ensuring the efficiency of transport networks, developing digitalized transport system and promoting good governance at border crossings support trade facilitation process and the just in time supply chain approach, required by the internationally competitive system, which has been particularly relevant for land-locked countries,” said Ivana Markovic-Boskovic.

“The OSCE offers comparative advantages, expertise and added value, aimed at capacity-building, exchange of best practices, raising awareness, and enhancing the transport dialogue among the OSCE participating States,” added Markovic-Boskovic, referring to the OSCE Ministerial Council Decision on future transport dialogue in the OSCE.

SARAJEVO, 8 July 2022 – The Office of the OSCE Special Representative and Co-ordinator for Combating Trafficking in Human Beings (OSCE SR/CTHB) and the OSCE Mission to Bosnia and Herzegovina (OSCE Mission to BiH) organized a roundtable on the nexus between trafficking in human beings and terrorism in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH).

The roundtable gathered representatives of state agencies, criminal justice practitioners, and civil society organizations who work on anti-trafficking and counter-terrorism. The roundtable presented findings of research conducted by the OSCE SR/CTHB and other international and national organizations on the nexus between trafficking and terrorism. It further created a platform for discussion between anti-trafficking and counter-terrorism specialists on this sensitive topic. The discussions further considered security, vulnerability, gender, justice, and human rights, including whether those associated with terrorist groups should be characterised as victims or perpetrators.

“Today, we make an important step in integrating crucial trafficking considerations into counter-terrorism work,” said OSCE Special Representative and Coordinator for Combating Trafficking in Human Beings Valiant Richey in opening the roundtable. “We need to ensure victims of trafficking are treated as such, and trafficking crimes committed by terrorist groups are adequately addressed”.

Rebecca Agule, Acting Head of the Rule of Law Section in the OSCE Mission to BiH stressed that the Mission has worked with local partners and institutions to improve domestic responses to serious threats to security, including human trafficking and terrorism since 2003. “This includes ensuring greater protection and support to victims of these serious crimes and that the appropriate institutional and legislative tools are in place,” said Agule.

Ms Hajrija Hadžiomerović-Muftić, anti-trafficking expert and former prosecutor, highlighted that, “The roundtable indeed reaffirmed a need on strengthening the efforts to hold terrorist groups and their members fully accountable for their criminal behavior, while also ensuring an identification and  protection of those who were exploited by these groups .”

The roundtable was implemented as part of the OSCE Mission to BiH’s wider efforts to support the fight against trafficking in human beings and terrorism in BiH by strengthening the capacity of the relevant institutions to detect, investigate, and prosecute these crimes.

José Eduardo dos Santos was praised for bringing peace but sullied his reputation clinging to power.
