<p>INTERPOL is a crucial organisation enabling police to police cooperation between
194 member countries.</p><p>INTERPOL systems enable member countries to issue Red
Notices to seek the location and arrest of persons who are wanted with a view to extradition
or other lawful action. Such notices must be made strictly in compliance with INTERPOL’s
constitution which forbids any intervention or activities of a political, military,
religious or racial character. The Government considers very seriously any misuse
of INTERPOL notices and strongly supports INTERPOL’s efforts to ensure systems are
in place that protect individuals’ human rights.</p><p>It is up to each INTERPOL member
country’s legal framework as to what action will be taken in respect of an individual
who is subject to an INTERPOL Red Notice, alongside a consideration of other relevant
factors such as an asylum claim.</p><p>Those granted refugee status in the UK are
not expected to return to their country of origin in accordance with the UK’s obligations
under the Refugee Convention. As a matter of policy, the UK will moreover not disclose
the existence or status of any asylum claim to the national authorities of their country
of origin</p>
