  • Misuse of Interpol's Red Notices and Impact on Human Rights
    STUDY Requested by the DROI committee Misuse of Interpol’s Red Notices and impact on human rights – recent developments Policy Department for External Relations Directorate General for External Policies of the Union PE 603.472 - January 2019 EN DIRECTORATE-GENERAL FOR EXTERNAL POLICIES POLICY DEPARTMENT STUDY Misuse of Interpol’s Red Notices and impact on human rights – recent developments ABSTRACT International organisations continue to report the abuse by some states of Interpol’s Notice System to persecute national human rights defenders, civil society activists and critical journalists in violation of international standards of human rights. Available case studies, written reports and interviews with organisations working in the field confirm the reported abuses. Recent Interpol reforms have made significant impact on safeguarding individuals both substantially and procedurally. Nevertheless, and especially considering the significant increase in the number of Notices and Diffusions in the Interpol system, reforms remain to be fully implemented and transparency and enforcement mechanisms continue to leave room for improvement. Taking as a point of departure the responses from the EU institutions and bodies, and EU Member States, the study recommends taking further steps for Interpol to ensure full implementation of recent reforms, a fully transparent system and consistent legal and procedural safeguards for individuals in the Interpol Notice System.

  • Saint Lucia Evaluation Report on Drug Policies 2019 MULTILATERAL EVALUATION MECHANISM (MEM)
    MULTILATERAL EVALUATION MECHANISM (MEM) INTER-AMERICAN DRUG ABUSE CONTROL COMMISSION (CICAD) SECRETARIAT FOR MULTIDIMENSIONAL SECURITY (SMS) Saint Lucia Evaluation Report on Drug Policies 2019 MULTILATERAL EVALUATION MECHANISM (MEM) SAINT LUCIA Evaluation Report on Drug Policies 2019 ISBN 978-0-8270-6903-9 PREFACE The Multilateral Evaluation Mechanism (MEM), under the Inter-American Drug Abuse Control Commission (CICAD) of the Secretariat for Multidimensional Security (SMS), measures the progress achieved and challenges to member nations of the Organization of American States (OAS) in implementing the CICAD Hemispheric Plan of Action on Drugs 2016-2020. Mandated by the 1998 Summit of the Americas held in Santiago, Chile, the MEM is the only multilateral tool of its kind in the world. MEM evaluations are based on information provided by OAS member states, which is then analyzed by the MEM’s Governmental Expert Group (GEG), composed of experts from OAS countries. For this round, the GEG performed its work from mid-2018 to mid-2019. The evaluation process was transparent and inclusive in nature, with no experts involved in the evaluation of their own country. The GEG analyzed the following areas: institutional strengthening, demand reduction, supply reduction, control measures, and international cooperation, and its evaluation is based on the 29 objectives and corresponding priority actions of the CICAD Hemispheric Plan of Action on Drugs 2016-2020. (A few priority actions were not considered, given they are not measurable.) In addition, the seventh round reports include a discussion of member states’ progress over time during the seven MEM rounds. Prior to the GEG’s work, the MEM Inter-Governmental Working Group, also composed of representatives from OAS member states, designed the seventh evaluation round instrument during 2017, and the resulting questionnaire was then completed by member states.

  • Bosnian National Extradited to Stand Trial for Murder and Torture
    HRSP NEWSLETTER U.S. Department of Justice, Criminal Division, Human Rights and Special Prosecutions Section June 2013 Bosnian National Extradited to Stand Trial for Murder and Torture On May 31, 2013, the United States extradited Sulejman Mujagic (“Mujagic”), a citizen of Bosnia and Herzegovina (“Bosnia”) and a lawful permanent resident of Utica, New York, to stand trial for murder and torture during the armed conflict in Bosnia. Mujagic had been living in the United States since July 1997. Mujagic is wanted in Bosnia for the March 1995 “unlawful killing and wounding of the enemy,” committed during the armed conflict that followed the breakup of the former Yugoslavia. Bosnia has alleged that Mujagic, then a platoon commander in the Army of the Autonomous Province of Western Bosnia, summarily executed an unarmed Bosnian Army soldier and tortured a second soldier after the two prisoners had been captured by Mujagic and his men. In response to the Bosnian government’s request for extradition and in accordance with terms of the extradition treaty between the United States and Bosnia, the U.S. Department of Justice filed a complaint seeking Mujagic’s arrest and extradition in U.S. federal district court on November 27, 2012. Mujagic was arrested the following day in Utica, and a hearing to determine whether sufficient evidence existed to warrant his extradition was held on February 7, 2013. On April 2, 2013, a federal district court in the Northern District of New York ruled that Mujagic could be extradited to Bosnia to stand trial. On May 31, 2013, Mujagic was delivered to Bosnian authorities and removed from the United States.
