1. There are rigorous processes put in place by INTERPOL to ensure that Notices and Diffusions are in line with the INTERPOL Constitution and INTERPOL Rules of Processing Data. The UK works with colleagues across the INTERPOL membership and with INTERPOL to reinforce this work, particularly in upholding Article 3 of the Constitution, which prohibits the use of Notices and Diffusions for political, military, religious, or racial ends. 2. The decision on whether to travel internationally is one for individuals to take. Local authorities will always be primarily responsible for the safety and security of people in their jurisdiction. Consular assistance to British nationals is available 24/7 via Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) contact centres, and the nature of that support is set out in the published guidance here. 3. The FCDO’s Travel Advice remains under constant review to ensure it reflects the latest assessment of the risks to British nationals travelling overseas, including to countries of a second nationality. 4. The UK Government recognises that some foreign States may target those whom they perceive to be a threat or otherwise wish to control when travelling overseas. To support those travelling overseas, we have issued personal and cyber guidance on the transnational repression GOV.UK page for individuals to consider.
