The OSCE Transnational Threats Department (TNTD) contributed to the 2021 Kuban Cyber-Security Conference held online and in-person in Krasnodar, Russia on 23 and 24 June 2021. The purpose of the conference was to provide an open platform for dialogue between representatives of state authorities, businesses, experts and youth on topical issues related to protection against cyber threats.

The conference is organized by the Administration of the Krasnodar Territory; the Analytical Agency for Computer Security, a non-profit organization; the Association for Digital Development and Communications of the Krasnodar Territory; and the Kuban State Technological University.

Szilvia Toth, OSCE Cyber Security Officer, took part in a panel discussion dedicated to the development of common approaches to cooperation in the field of international information communication technology (ICT) security. She presented the OSCE’s efforts in developing and implementing cyber/ICT security Confidence-Building Measures. She also announced that a Russian language version of OSCE’s e-learning course about the measures will be published in July 2021.

Denise Mazzolani, Deputy Head of the OSCE’s Strategic Police Matters Unit, contributed to a plenary session on “Countering the Criminal Use of ICTs: Prospects for International Cooperation”. She focused on the OSCE’s work to enhance the criminal justice response to cybercrime, while upholding human rights, fundamental freedoms and the rule of law.

During her presentation, Mazzolani explained how the OSCE has a mandate to facilitate capacity building and the exchange of information and best practices in investigating cybercrime and dealing with cyber evidence at regional and national levels. She also emphasized that the OSCE, in its endeavours to enhance co-operation on cyber issues and cybercrime, complements the efforts of other international organizations to avoid duplications, reinforce synergies and capitalize on previous experiences.

SOFIA, 24 June 2021 – Valiant Richey, OSCE Special Representative for Combating Trafficking in Human Beings, on the last day of his three-day official visit to Sofia, reported that Bulgaria has developed sound initiatives that focus its anti-trafficking efforts on prevention.

During the visit, Richey met with anti-trafficking stakeholders from throughout the country, including Deputy Prime Minister and Chair of the National Commission for Combating Trafficking in Human Beings Boyko Rashkov. Richey met high-level government officials from the Interior Ministry, the General Directorate for Organized Crime, the Justice Ministry, the Supreme Court of Cassation, the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office of Cassation, the Foreign Affairs Ministry, the Labour and Social Policy Ministry, and the Commission for Anti-Corruption and Illegal Assets Forfeiture. He also met with members of civil society and the Ombudsman, and visited a shelter for adult victims of trafficking.

At a joint press briefing with Deputy Prime Minister Rashkov, Richey praised Bulgarian authorities for their focus on preventing the exploitation of Bulgarians abroad, a solid legal framework for combating human trafficking and an established track record in recovering proceeds from the crime. “Challenges that still remain are in implementation and the culture of impunity. Human trafficking is a serious crime, a security threat and a grave violation of human rights. Traffickers must be held accountable for the harm they cause with punishments that reflect the gravity of the crime,” said Richey.

"The penalties in Bulgaria are quite liberal,” said Deputy Prime Minister Rashkov. “We need to focus on sanctions because suspended sentences are often imposed. These punishments do not have the needed preventive effect on perpetrators." Rashkov added that suspended sentences are not helpful for victims’ recovery and overcoming the psychological traumas; it deprives them of confidence and a sense of security.

Richey noted that better data collection is needed to help assess the scale of human trafficking and the impact of current anti-trafficking measures. “I hope this visit will also serve to foster additional political will to prioritize efforts and financial resources to enhance and sustain victim support services and facilitate the prosecution of traffickers.”

The Special Representative conducts multiple country visits each year to help increase the capacity of OSCE participating States in addressing human trafficking, to share recommendations and collect best practices for fighting this heinous crime. A report detailing the findings of his visit will be released later in 2021.
