<p>The Foreign and Commonwealth Office updated its guidance on Overseas Security and
Justice Assistance in 2017 by written ministerial statement. Since then, information
on its implementation has been included in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office annual
Human Rights and Democracy Report. Overseas Security and Justice Assistance assessments
completed for specific projects or interventions are working documents, and are regularly
updated in line with developments in the country concerned. Information on the number
of Overseas Security and Justice Assistance assessments completed in previous years
and a more detailed breakdown of applications requiring Ministerial approval is not
held centrally and could only be obtained at a disproportionate cost.</p><p>The guidance
applies to any security and justice assistance from Her Majasty's Government that
could result in changes to the laws, policies, practices or capabilities of foreign
justice or security institutions and/or result in individuals being identified, investigated,
arrested, detained, interviewed, interrogated, prosecuted, tried or sentenced by foreign
authorities.</p>
