Red Notice: what it is, how it works and how to challenge it

Not an arrest warrant

INTERPOL cannot compel any country to arrest a person. Each member country applies its own law in deciding what action to take.

Grounds for challenge

• a predominantly political, military, religious or racial character (Article 3 of the Constitution);
• incompatibility with human rights (Article 2);
• non-compliance with the RPD;
• refugee status granted in relation to the requesting country.

How it is challenged

Through a request for deletion submitted to the CCF.
