question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of whether a refugee who has been granted asylum should be allowed to be the subject of an Interpol Red Notice initiated by the country they are seeking asylum from.
tabling member printed	Lord Scriven
uin	HL13174
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/02/2019 answer text <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> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 11/02/2019 17:03:43 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford

The data does not represent the number of asylum claimants who define themselves as LGB. Having an identifier that an asylum case is based on sexual orientation does not indicate that a claimant has any particular sexuality or that sexual orientation is the reason for any grant or refusal of asylum. It also does not signify whether that aspect of the claim has been accepted. Sexual orientation as a basis of claim could be due to imputed assertions or association rather than a defining characteristic of the claimant.</p><p>The Home Office do not record data on asylum claims based on gender identity or expression. The option to record this data remains under review. Historically the number of gender identity-based asylum claims has been low.</p><p>The Home Office is developing dedicated policy guidance for caseworkers considering gender identity and expression (including intersex) issues raised as the basis of an asylum claim.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 19/03/2019 16:21:09 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford
