The Facts
Our client, a refugee, was facing persecution through INTERPOL channels.
What Interpol Lawyers did
Our team of INTERPOL lawyers argued that the data retention concerning our client no longer complied with INTERPOL’s rules, specifically Articles 10(1) and 12(1) of the RPD, which pertain to the relevance and necessity of data processing. We presented a strong case that maintaining the INTERPOL Red Notice was unjustified and violated our client’s rights as a refugee.
The Results
The Commission for the Control of INTERPOL’s Files has decided to delete data concerning our client from the INTERPOL system, marking a crucial step in upholding legal standards and individual rights in particular as a refugee status. This outcome underscores the importance of adherence to legal frameworks and the protection of personal data within international law enforcement
What is particularly interesting in this case is that the Commission’s decision was made outside of the regular session, which emphasizes the special paid to the protection of refugees’ rights.
