Türkiye orijinli müvekkilimiz hakkında INTERPOL tarafindan yayınlanan kırmızı bültenin silinmesi talebimiz başarı ile sonuçlandı. Kırmızı Bülten, sözde bir finansal suç iddiasına dayanırken asıl amacı, hakkında ayrıca siyasi nitelikli bir dava devam eden müvekkilin iadesini sağlayabilmekti.

At Interpol’s 92nd General Assembly in November 2024, significant amendments were made to the Rules on the Processing of Data to align with international standards.

INTERPOL Dosyalarının Kontrolü Komisyonu (CCF) 2023 raporu, şikayetlerin %15’inde, erişim taleplerinin %30’unda yaşanan gecikmeler ve bazı Ulusal İrtibat Bürolarının işbirliği yapmaması gibi CCF’nin bireylerin haklarını tam olarak koruma kabiliyetini engelleyen kalıcı zorlukların altını çizmektedir.
The 2023 Annual Activity Report underscores the CCF’s critical role in safeguarding the integrity of INTERPOL’s data processing activities while upholding human rights and international legal standards. Despite significant achievements, the report highlights persistent challenges, including delays in 15% of complaints, 30% of access requests, and non-cooperation by some NCBs, which hinder the CCF’s ability to fully protect the rights of individuals.
INTERPOL tarafından yayınlanan önleyici başvuruların rolü ve bunları nasıl ele alındığı hakkında kılavuza göre, CCF önleyici bir talep aldıktan sonra, bunu “bilgi ve uygun eylem” için Genel Sekreterliğe iletecektir.
Daha yayınlanmamadan kötü niyetli bir Kırmızı Bülten ya da difüzyon konusunda Interpol’ü uyarmak, yayınlandıktan sonra sildirmekten çok daha az zahmetlidir.
Just Security, a law and rights forum based at the Reiss Center on Law and Security at New York University School of Law has published a piece co-authored by Ali Yıldız and a prominent UK barrister Ben Keith.
It is imperative that Interpol complies with its own rules by not ignoring the decisions and findings of international human rights bodies such as the UN. In particular, Interpol should take into consideration the UN bodies’ decisions when considering whether or not to issue Turkey’s Red Notice requests, as it is required to do prior to dissemination of any notice on the Interpol database.
Commission for the Control of INTERPOL’s Files (CCF) published its 2021 activity report.
