Recommendations: Quality Control INTERPOL should provide more detailed information on how it approaches the task of reviewing Red Notices prior to publication and Diffusions following circulation, including the extent to which it conducts proactive background research into the requesting country’s human rights record and the circumstances of the case. INTERPOL should develop a database of trustworthy sources which can be relied upon to provide credible information to assist the General Secretariat in the task of reviewing requests for INTERPOL Alerts. INTERPOL should establish an effective system of communication with UN treaty bodies, special mandates and other human rights bodies to ensure that information which they hold in relation to individuals subject to INTERPOL alerts, and which may have a bearing on the validity of such INTERPOL alerts, is shared promptly. INTERPOL should ensure that all INTERPOL alerts currently in circulation are subjected to the more stringent process of review which we now understand to be applied to all new requests for INTERPOL alerts. 38 INTERPOL should collate and publish data regarding the number of requests for INTERPOL Alerts received each year (disaggregated according to Red Notices and Diffusions) and the number of requests which are refused and the reasons for such refusal. INTERPOL should ensure that the NDTF has adequate resources to conduct the stringent reviews necessary to prevent the publication of INTERPOL alerts which do not comply with its rules. Member States should support the work of the NDTF, including by ensuring that it has sufficient resources to carry out its activities effectively. We would recommend that Member States provide ring-fenced funding to INTERPOL to ensure that the NDTF is sufficiently staffed, and that it has enough resources to conduct a full review of existing Red Notices and Diffusions.
