Recommendations To governments responsible for acts of transnational repression: • End all actions aimed to intimidate, attack, or silence nationals abroad that amount to transnational repression. • End the misuse of Interpol and other international bodies as a tool to unlawfully seek the return or extradition of nationals living abroad. • End the use of surveillance technology to commit transnational repression against nationals abroad and their families back home. To the United Nations and other multilateral organizations: • Recognize transnational repression as a specific threat to human rights. • Establish a special rapporteur on transnational repression to report on trends and efforts by governments to address it, including efforts that may violate human rights; and provide recommendations on how to uphold rights obligations when responding to transnational repression and ensure accountability. • Review and revise the protections offered to human rights defenders and other activists who engage with the UN to better address the risk of reprisals, including for those living outside of their home country. To governments combatting transnational repression: • Frame transnational repression as a specific threat to human rights and ensure a human rights framework for legal and policy responses. • Publicly denounce cases of transnational repression when it is safe for the victims and their communities to do so. • Ensure that issues of transnational repression are appropriately factored into human rights foreign policy decisions taken with respect to repressive governments. • Do not facilitate transnational repression by other governments. Countries responding to extradition and similar requests need to ensure that they are not furthering an unlawful action by the requesting government. They should refuse to comply with Interpol Red Notices that are put forward by rights-abusing “WE WILL FIND YOU” 42
