How to block an INTERPOL Red Notice request?

The red notice of INTERPOL is a request for an international search for an individual with a view to his or her provisional arrest on the basis of pending active judicial proceedings. In order to block an INTERPOL Red Notice request, it is essential to understand the legal and tactical basis for protecting the rights of the individual.

Red Alert

It is necessary to note and be clear that a Red Notice is not the same as an international arrest warrant, but a request for police co-operation between INTERPOL member countries. The information contained in a Red Notice is based on a valid national arrest warrant and the offenses charged must be recognized as such in both the requesting and receiving countries.

Steps to block a red notification

  • Case Review: It is essential to carefully review the details of the case, ensuring that the Red Notice request meets INTERPOL's requirements. The request must be based on a valid arrest warrant and must not violate the individual's human rights.
  • Submit a Request to the CCF: The INTERPOL Commission for the Control of INTERPOL's Files (CCF) is the body responsible for overseeing the use of Red Notices. Submit a request to the CCF for the removal of the Red Notice on the grounds that the Red Notice is unjust, is based, for example, on political, religious, military or racial grounds, or violates the individual's human rights.
  • Political motives: If the red notice request is based on political motives, it is essential to present solid evidence to demonstrate this circumstance. This may include reports from human rights bodies, international or national court decisions that corroborate the facts.
  • Compliance with international standards: Argue that the request does not comply with international human rights standards or that the crime charged is not recognized as such in the receiving country. It is essential to demonstrate that the procedure in the requesting country does not respect due process or judicial guarantees.
  • Specialized legal advice: Having the representation of lawyers specialized in international criminal law and extradition is vital. They can advise on the best legal strategy, file the relevant requests and defend the individual's rights before the competent authorities.

Conclusion

Blocking an INTERPOL Red Notice request requires a thorough and well-founded approach. The key is to demonstrate the illegality or injustice of the request, using arguments based on international standards and documented evidence. Remember that expert and qualified legal counsel is indispensable to this process.
