Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the European Court of Human Rights ruling against Serbia regarding the extradition of Ahmed Jaafar Mohamed Ali; and what steps they have taken to address the misuse of Interpol Red Notices by authoritarian states.

The UK regularly considers and monitors European Court of Human Rights cases, but does not comment in detail on judgments against other countries. We strongly support INTERPOL's efforts to ensure that systems are in place to protect individuals' human rights in line with Article 3 of INTERPOL's Constitution which strictly forbids any intervention or activities of a political, military, religious or racial character. The Home Office works closely with INTERPOL and the National Crime Agency to monitor the effectiveness of existing safeguards. We encourage INTERPOL to uphold international human rights obligations and we won't hesitate to recommend further reforms to INTERPOL as necessary.
