The International Association of Peacekeeping Training Centers had more than 100 countries represented,
including all of the major peacekeeping centers. The Brazilian Peace Operations Joint Training Center (CCOPAB) hosted this year's conference. Dr. Karen Finkenbinder, PKSOI's Rule of Law SME, introduced the Vietnam
Peacekeeping Centre (VPC) contingent for the first time to the other peacekeeping center commanders. Dr.
Finkenbinder is currently working with VPC as a Ministry of Defense Advisor. Dr. Finkenbinder presented
PKSOI's PSOTEW workshop concept to the IAPTC audience, as a venue for future collaboration. Dr. Finkenbinder also led a thematic discussion on the Role of Peacekeepers in countering Transnational Organized
Crime.
