Frequently Asked Questions
-
1. What is an INTERPOL Red Notice?
An INTERPOL Red Notice is an international request circulated through INTERPOL asking member countries to locate and provisionally arrest an individual pending extradition proceedings. Although a Red Notice is not an international arrest warrant, it may result in detention, travel restrictions, immigration difficulties, banking complications, and reputational damage.
-
2. Can an INTERPOL Red Notice be removed?
Yes. An INTERPOL Red Notice may be challenged and removed where it violates INTERPOL's Constitution, the Rules on the Processing of Data (RPD), or fundamental human rights principles. Requests for deletion are submitted to INTERPOL's Commission for the Control of Files ("CCF"), which reviews the legality of the data held within INTERPOL's systems
-
3. How can a lawyer challenge an INTERPOL Red Notice?
An INTERPOL lawyer may challenge a Red Notice by preparing a legal submission to the CCF demonstrating that the notice breaches INTERPOL's rules. This may include evidence of political motivation, lack of due process, human rights violations, disproportionality, abuse of process, or other grounds rendering the notice non-compliant with INTERPOL's legal framework.
