• Oversight: All cooperation must be carried out in a manner that facilitates effective accountability, transparency and oversight, including the use of clear authorisation procedures, the keeping of appropriate records, maintaining up-to-date internal policies and procedures and guidance for staff, and reporting to the responsible Minister on the nature and outcomes of cooperation with overseas public authorities.181 In terms of human rights obligations, security agencies must not cooperate with overseas public authorities where they know or assess that there is a real risk that the activity will lead to, or where information has been obtained as a result of, human rights breaches in that country. This includes a duty of due diligence and this applies to requests to share intelligence on a case-bycase basis or within the context of a broader standing authorisation. 181 Ibid. para. 57. 34
