3.4.2 Legal structure and framework for the participation of security forces in elections Once the tasks which could be assigned to security forces are globally known, it is equally indispensable to ensure that the framework of their intervention in the electoral process is clearly defined. By framework of the intervention of security forces we mean not only the organs within which they will evolve but also the rules which govern their involvement for a successful accomplishment of their duties. This is extremely important in view of the fact this can have dramatic consequences on the electoral process. The frameworks of action will necessarily vary with the specific context of each country. Whatever form they are given in any given context, it is absolutely necessary to pay particular attention to two factors: their number and the composition of each of them. A good example: The electoral commission of Togo The Togolese 11 electoral code is one of the rare exceptions where several measures have been provided for concerning the participation of security forces in the running of elections and the role which it entails for the commission. Although Togo's situation in 2007 is special from the security point of view, the effort that has been made nevertheless needs to be recognized. The electoral code provides, for example, that: a. ANEC should contribute to the training of security agents by the ministry in charge of security; b. INEC should supervise the security outfit provided by the ministry in charge of security; 11 Decree n°2007-012 of 14June 2007 being amendment to Decree n°2000-007 of 05 April 2000, amended by Decree n°2002-001 of 07 February 2003, decree n°2003-014 of 20 October 2003, decree n°2005-001 of 21 January 2005 and decree n°2007-009of 7 February 2007 establishing the electoral code. 200
