https://t.co/DSujQ5crVe is an information hub concerning Interpol and Red Notices. It aims to be a key resource for news and resources written by legal experts @rogersahota, @BenCAKeith, and Rhys Davies examining human rights and international law issues relating to Interpol.

Discussions highlighted UK’s responsibility, esp. concerning abuses tied to #HongKong &highlighted broader challenges posed by member states like #Russia #Turkey & the #UAE. “Strengthened oversight mechanisms & intern. cooperation are essential to uphold Interpol’s integrity.”

📌 Collaborative Action Needed: Democratic nations must unify efforts to ensure meaningful reforms and prevent misuse of Interpol’s infrastructure for political agendas

📌 Serious concerns about Interpol's funding model and the influence of voluntary contributions on its governance

📌 Transparency & Oversight: Calls for greater accountability were clear - regular reporting, better staffing for the Notices and Diffusions Task Force and Interpol's Commission for the Control of Files (#CCF), and stronger safeguards against political abuse

Key takeaways: 📌 China's Transnational Repression: one of @INTERPOL_HQ's most significant abusers, its sophisticated approach, combining legal mechanisms w/ broader harassment campaigns & programs like Foxhunt + Skynet show how #RedNotices can be weaponised to silence dissidents
