To help address issues of gender inequality in the justice system, the OSCE Mission to Skopje recently published a baseline study on Gender and Diversity in the Judiciary.

“Only a transparent and inclusive judiciary can enjoy the trust and support of the citizens, which will enable it to perform fully its function of safeguarding justice and human rights. The judicial system should reflect the community it serves, including women, minorities and persons with disabilities,” said Deputy Head of Mission, Jeffrey Goldstein at today’s event to promote the study.

“The participation and equal representation of women in the judiciary increases the quality of judicial work, the reasoning of judicial decisions, the protection of women’s human rights, and better justice sector outcomes for all.”

Speaking at the event, the President of the Judicial Council of North Macedonia, Pavlina Crvenkovska, said: “The Judicial Council aims to promote gender equality during new employments in the judiciary, particularly focusing on ethnic communities. At the same time, we must ensure realization of human rights for all citizens, who are part of court proceedings in order to eliminate discriminatory practices.”    

The Mission has long been involved in the fields of gender, non-discrimination, and judicial reform. It contributed to setting up North Macedonia’s legislative and institutional infrastructure in this area, and assisted the government to draft the Law for Equal Opportunities of Women and Men.

Protection of targets vulnerable to terrorist attacks and increased regional co-operation focus of OSCE-led workshop in Central Asia

OSCE - Fri, 11/18/2022 - 11:15

From 16 to 18 November, over 55 experts from Central Asia and Mongolia gathered in Tashkent to discuss how to better protect vulnerable targets, such as critical infrastructure and soft targets, from terrorist attacks. The event was an opportunity to enhance the preparedness of participating States and provide a platform for dialogue on cross-border infrastructure protection.

The workshop was organised by the OSCE Action against Terrorism Unit of the Transnational Threats Department (TNTD), the OSCE Project Co-ordinator in Uzbekistan, the United Nations Office of Counter-Terrorism (UNOCT), the United Nations Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate (UNCTED) and INTERPOL. It also included contributions from all OSCE field operations in Central Asia and the participation of a delegation from Mongolia.

“This workshop reflects the OSCE’s unique strengths in convening multi-level partners, offering a space for experts to share their experience and good practices, and advancing our common anti-terrorism priorities in a human rights-compliant manner,” said Hans-Ullrich Ihm, Acting Head of Mission for the OSCE Project Co-ordinator in Uzbekistan.

Event participants contributed to important discussions related to national approaches from across the OSCE area, international legal framework for vulnerable targets protection, public-private partnerships, the role of civil security and the public, and the importance of human-rights complaint approaches to countering terrorist attacks of this nature.

“States are right to take action to protect vulnerable targets from terrorist attacks – indeed, their obligation to do so is grounded in international human rights law, including obligations with respect to the right to life. Any such action – whether preventative or responsive – must itself be consistent with international human rights law, and gender sensitive,” explained the Mandate of the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms while countering terrorism.

Representing the global policing community, INTERPOL noted, “Law enforcement plays a crucial role in the identification of threats, physical protection, response, investigation, and long-term resilience to terrorist attacks against vulnerable targets. Together, let us continue to foster our collaborative efforts to address current and future terrorist threats.”

The workshop follows a similar event for South East European participating States in 2019 and an “OSCE-wide Expert Seminar on Promoting Resilience of “Soft” Targets against Terrorist Attacks through Public-Private Partnerships” that was held in December 2019. Additional engagements by OSCE field operations include the OSCE Centre in Ashgabat’s Regional Online Training Workshop on Countering Terrorism with a focus on protecting critical infrastructure in June 2022.
