EVENT: Transnational Repression and Interpol | The Hague

Join us for a discussion on the weaponisation of Interpol systems and the legal challenges facing practitioners representing clients targeted by cross-border persecution.

Authoritarian regimes increasingly exploit international law enforcement mechanisms to silence dissidents, journalists, and activists beyond their borders. Red Notices become tools of harassment. Extradition requests mask political persecution.

In an era of increasing authoritarian overreach, how do we protect those targeted by transnational repression? When does legitimate international cooperation become a tool of persecution?

Our speakers Rhys Davies (Temple Garden Chambers) and Ben Keith (5 St Andrews Hill Chambers) will examine the practical challenges of identifying and challenging abusive Red Notices, defending against politically motivated extradition requests, and developing strategic approaches to protect vulnerable clients.

The event will explore emerging evidence on transnational repression, providing cutting-edge analysis of recent cases and trends that directly impact practitioners working in this rapidly expanding area of law.

Whether you’re handling extradition cases, defending political dissidents, or advising on international sanctions, this session will provide valuable insights into protecting clients from cross-border persecution.
