Recommendation
We recommend that the Government explicitly incorporate transnational repression into the UK’s human rights reporting frameworks. In particular, references to TNR should be included in the next iterations of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office’s annual Human Rights and Democracy Report and in the Overseas Security and Justice Assistance Guidance. The UK should also ensure that diplomatic responses, such as the expulsion of officials, public demarches, and the imposition of sanctions, are not only available in principle but are actively and visibly deployed in response to serious incidents. (Recommendation, Paragraph 87)
