ICCPR Recommendations 2024, paragraph 27

The State party should continue its efforts to ensure the prompt review of the 2019 principles relating to the detention and interviewing of detainees overseas and the passing and receipt of intelligence relating to detainees, ensuring that the principles are updated to make clear the absolute prohibition of torture, unlawful killing and extraordinary rendition, and eliminating any issues of subjectivity created by the application of the “presumption not to proceed” principle. It should also exercise utmost care in evaluating diplomatic assurances to ensure that renditions are not occurring on its territories or on those territories under its jurisdiction. It should ensure that all investigations and proceedings regarding the involvement of British officials in torture, unlawful killings or extraordinary renditions are carried out thoroughly, independently and within a reasonable period of time, that those found responsible are held accountable and that the investigations and any subsequent proceedings are made public.
