Dismantling the Tools ofreport Oppression INTERPOL 2018 Recommendations: Effective avenue of redress The CCF should clarify and publish how NCB’s refusal to disclose data without justification affects its own decisions. INTERPOL and the CCF should develop more robust mechanisms for ensuring that NCBs comply with instructions to delete data from national databases following a CCF decision. The CCF Statute should be amended to grant to individuals and NCBs the right to appeal against a decision of the CCF. The CCF should limit the use of addenda in lieu of deletion, and where addenda are used, they should be made visible on the public Red Notices to which they apply. The CCF should collect and publish data that would illustrate the effectiveness and efficiency of its complaints procedures.127 INTERPOL, acting through the General Assembly, should ensure that the CCF is given a sufficient budget to implement the new CCF Statute effectively. Member States should support the work of the CCF by ensuring that the CCF is adequately funded, including by provided ring-fenced funding to make sure that the CCF is sufficiently staffed and resourced. Member States should comply with requests from the CCF as much as possible and respect its decisions. These could include: (i) the total number of requests for (a) access for data, and (b) deletion of INTERPOL Alerts; (ii) the number of requests for (a) access for data, and (b) deletion of INTERPOL Alerts which are successful; (iii) the number of requests for access for data which are unsuccessful and the reasons provided; (iv) the number of requests for deletion in which disclosure to information to the applicant is refused and the reasons provided; (v) the average length of time between submission of a request to access data and the date of the decision; (vi) the average length of time between submission of a request for deletion of data and the date of the decision; (vii) the number of CCF cases each year in which oral hearings are (a) requested, and (b) granted; and (viii) the number of CCF cases each year in which the CCF consults external experts. 127 51
