<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 The Foreign and Commonwealth Office's
annual Human Rights and Democracy Report. Overseas Security and Justice Assitance
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 Assitance 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>
