In the international search system, there is a rule that lawyers call the “absolute legal shield.” We are talking about Article 3 of the Interpol Statute, which proclaims the strict neutrality of the organization and categorically prohibits it from carrying out any interference or activities of a political, military, religious or racial nature.
SAFEWAY ADVISORY (SWA) specialists use this standard on a daily basis. To prove that the notification issued against the client is an instrument of pressure. This means that the General Secretariat is obliged to recognize it as illegal and completely annul it.
The four pillars of Article 3: what protects the law
In order to successfully appeal the notification and exclude the data from the Lyon database, SWA international experts are analyzing the criminal case for four key violations.:
-
The political nature of the persecution. This includes not only cases against opposition leaders, but also situations where criminal articles (for example, economic ones) are used to eliminate competitors associated with the state apparatus.
-
Religious context. If criminal prosecution has intensified because a person belongs to a particular denomination or religious community, Interpol is obliged to block the search.
-
Racial and national discrimination. Fabricating cases based on ethnicity is a direct violation of the organization’s neutrality.
-
War crimes. Interpol does not search for individuals for desertion, evasion of service or other purely military offenses. Since this is the internal prerogative of a particular state.
The Dominant Motivation Test
Countries that abuse the search mechanisms rarely send requests to Lyon with the wording “wanted for criticizing the authorities.” They disguise the persecution under common criminal articles such as fraud or tax evasion.
To uncover this manipulation, the File Control Commission (CCF) applies a so-called dominance test. The task of SAFEWAY ADVISORY lawyers in this test is to prove that, despite the presence of a criminal article in the request, the dominant motive of the state is precisely political, religious or commercial interest.
How do SWA lawyers prove violations of Article 3?
To convince Lyon to appeal the notification, we are building an evidence base according to strict international standards.:
-
Chronological analysis. We show a direct connection between the client’s public actions (or his refusal to give up the business) and the moment when the case was initiated.
-
Documenting violations. We collect statements from officials, publications in state-controlled media, and procedural violations confirming the ordered nature of the case.
-
Independent expertise. We are using reports from the UN human rights institutions and the Council of Europe to confirm systemic problems with justice in the initiator country.
Comprehensive security with SAFEWAY ADVISORY
Contacting Interpol under Article 3 requires meticulous precision. Any incorrect statement can be interpreted by the Commission as an admission of guilt in a common crime. The SWA team guarantees impeccable legal reasoning and full protection of your data. At all stages of the process according to the Privacy by default standard.
