New journal article on policing in Maputo

MEPs approved Hungary's commissioner-designate Oliver Varhelyi in the European parliament's foreign affairs committee on Monday. It means the new EU commission led by Ursula von der Leyen can take office on 1 December if the parliament approves the EU executive without a UK commissioner next week. Varhelyi was given written questions following his hearing last week after socialists and liberal lawmakers had concerns over his closeness to PM Viktor Orban.

A new report from the pan-European organisation Energy Community revealed on Monday that coal-fuelled power plants in the Balkans are struggling to comply with the emission targets established under their national plans. "The situation is especially critical in the Western Balkans as the deadline for some plants to go offline is literally around the corner if they continue to operate at high-usage," said an executive of the organisation.

VIENNA, 18 November 2019 – The OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media, Harlem Désir, strongly condemned today the shooting of the journalist Mario De Michele, which took place on 14 November, in Italy.

According to reports, De Michele, the editor of the Campania Notizie news website, was shot at by two unknown individuals while driving his car in the town of Gricignano d’Aversa. Fortunately, the journalist escaped uninjured. The attack is believed to be related to his articles on the local municipality, which was dissolved a few days earlier, and activities of the Camorra, an organized mafia crime group.

“I strongly condemn this attempted murder of a journalist,” said Désir. “I welcome the investigation opened by the Italian authorities and urge them to find those responsible and bring them to justice. It is unacceptable that a journalist could face such threats, and an attempt on his life, for carrying out his work.”

Three days prior to this attack, De Michele reportedly received threats from, and was assaulted by, two individuals who physically attacked him and struck his car with an iron bar. They further warned him to stop writing about organized crime.

The Representative recalled the OSCE Ministerial Council Decision on Safety of Journalists, which urges participating States to “condemn publicly and unequivocally all attacks and violence against journalists such as killing, torture, enforced disappearance, arbitrary arrest, arbitrary detention and arbitrary expulsion, intimidation, harassment, and threats of all forms, such as physical, legal, political, technological or economic, used to suppress their work and/or unduly force closure of their offices, including in conflict situations”.

The OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media observes media developments in all 57 OSCE participating States. He/she provides early warning on violations of freedom of expression and media freedom and promotes full compliance with OSCE media freedom commitments.

A four-day training course on business skills for women from vulnerable categories, organized by the OSCE Mission to Montenegro, concluded on 14 November 2019 in Bar.

Empowering vulnerable categories of women means  building their skills and helping them enter the job market. It also means helping them to regain a sense of self-worth and motivate them to take proper steps in job finding. The training course aimed to support them by developing the specific skills needed in the business arena. Identifying their strengths, introducing themselves suitably when looking for a job, taking a confident attitude when performing before potential employers, establishing rapport and improving their social and communication skills were all part of the course. The participants were given the knowledge to create and fine-tune their own CVs and motivation letters.

“This training has connected me to women who have had a similar experience. It was helpful to hear how they cope with unemployment. I have a different perception of my self-worth after this training, because self-assessment tests and sessions made me realize that I still have much to offer and that I am worth more than I thought before the training. Now I feel more confident,” said Mirjana, one of the participants in the training.

The event concluded that economic empowerment of women is the basis for their full emancipation and participation in social, cultural and political life. Empowerment makes them less susceptible to violence.

Fifteen representatives of civil society and OSCE field operations from across South-Eastern Europe participated in a regional train-the-trainer seminar for future facilitators of courses tailored for women leaders on preventing violent extremism and radicalization that lead to terrorism. The seminar, held in Belgrade from 11 to 16 November 2019, was organized by the Action against Terrorism Unit of the OSCE Transnational Threats Department.

The seminar prepared regional facilitators for the delivery of training courses, which are part of the OSCE’s Leaders against Intolerance and Violent Extremism (LIVE) initiative. This initiative seeks to promote context-specific efforts against violent extremism across the OSCE area developed and led by civil society at the grassroots level.

Participants strengthened their facilitation skills, knowledge and awareness of concepts covered by the LIVE curriculum and practiced its delivery.

“The OSCE Mission to Serbia welcomes the LIVE initiative; it underlines the importance of local ownership in preventing and countering violent extremism and radicalization that lead to terrorism,” said Robert Kucharski, Head of Security Co-operation at the OSCE Mission to Serbia. “This train-the-trainer seminar will equip future facilitators with skills and knowledge that they will later employ to strengthen the resilience of local communities to violent extremism.”

The LIVE initiative is based on the recognition that civil society plays a crucial role in a whole-of-society approach to preventing and countering violent extremism and radicalization that lead to terrorism (P/CVERLT). Civil society actors are often well positioned, credible and experienced in working with specific groups to help identify and address the grievances that make individuals more vulnerable to the influence of violent extremist groups.

“I have previously been involved in the implementation of the LIVE youth leaders training,” said Valbone Dermaku, National Human Rights Adviser, OSCE Mission in Kosovo, who participated in the train-the-trainer seminar in Belgrade. “I have heard from multiple youth leaders how useful and relevant the LIVE training was for them”.

During the seminar, participants were acquainted with two of the OSCE’s handbooks on P/CVERLT: The Role of Civil Society in Preventing and Countering Violent Extremism and Radicalization that Lead to Terrorism: A Guidebook for South-Eastern Europe; and Understanding the Role of Gender in Preventing and Countering Violent Extremism and Radicalization That Lead to Terrorism: Good Practices for Law Enforcement.

In co-operation with OSCE field operations in South-Eastern Europe, the Action against Terrorism Unit has previously delivered two regional seminars as part of the LIVE initiative: a train-the-trainer seminar for youth leaders (held in Skopje) and a similar seminar for community leaders (held in Sarajevo).
