For overseas security and justice projects funded by Her Majesty’s Government, the Home Office conducts Overseas Security and Justice Assessments (OSJAs). These assessments are carried out to identify risks to human rights, and mitigations for those risks, in accordance with guidance published by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/583304/OSJA_Guidance_2017.pdf.
