The OSCE Office in Baku conducted a regional training course today on the prevention of domestic violence for police officers. The event was organized by the OSCE Office in close co-operation with the Azerbaijani Interior Ministry.
Topics discussed included the role and duties of police officers in preventing and combating domestic violence under the national legislation; participants heard about the experiences of other countries in this field. Local experts and representatives from the Interior Ministry also addressed the legal and socio-cultural aspects of implementing the law.
