What is an INTERPOL Red Notice? It is not an international arrest warrant, whatever you may have read. It is a request from one country to locate and arrest you with a view to extradition. Some countries treat it like a warrant anyway. Elsewhere it means blocked travel, a closed bank account, or extradition proceedings, and the damage to your name outlasts the notice. I have spent twenty years as an extradition barrister and INTERPOL Red Notice lawyer challenging them. In the second video of our International Human Rights Advisors series, Rhys Davies and I cover the fundamentals of the INTERPOL system, and here I explain what a Red Notice actually does.

More from our series on Interpol explainers. This time Ben Keith at the helm, explaining the various different ways a Notice or diffusion can be discovered. The reality is, however, the often clients simply need to live with uncertainty as there is no foolproof way of knowing

More in our series on Interpol, Red Notices and how to delete them. Today Ben Keith is in the hot seat, explaining the mechanics of the CCF.

How do you challenge a Red Notice or Diffusion? There is a route. It runs through Interpol's Commission for the Control of Files. It is slow, confidential, and unforgiving. There is no formal appeal. The first submission is usually the only one that matters. Ben Keith and I set up International Human Rights Advisors to take that first submission seriously. In this latest video, I explain why getting it right the first time is everything.

INTERPOL 's notice system is more than the interpol Red Notice that makes the headlines. Blue, Yellow, Green, Black — each carries its own purpose and its own consequences, and several can restrict movement or trigger scrutiny without any request for arrest. Rhys Davies sets out how the system works, and why it matters for anyone who travels or operates across borders. A precise, useful guide

Ben Keith setting out how Interpol actually works in the latest of our short series of videos on Interpol, Red Notices, and the mechanics of the organisation.

What is an Interpol Blue Notice — and what do the other colours mean? Red Notices get all the attention. But Interpol issues others too. Blue, Yellow, Green, Black — each one puts you on a different part of the international law enforcement radar, and each one carries its own consequences. The latest in the International Human Rights Advisors series walks through the colour system and what each notice actually does. Ben Keith

This is the latest in our series about Red Notice and how to challenge them. In this video, we discuss the mechanics and the approach as to how to apply to Interpol’s CCF. As we say in the video, the process can be lengthy and it’s critical to make sure that submissions filed with the CCF are the best version that can possibly be submitted, as there is very limited scope to have a second bite of the cherry.

What is INTERPOL? Most people picture a global police force chasing criminals across borders. It isn't that. It's a data-sharing network between 196 countries — and the information it moves around can still get you arrested, detained, or turned away at a border. In our International Human Rights Advisors video series, Ben Keith and I cover the fundamentals of the Interpol system. To start the series off, I explain what Interpol actually is, and why it matters.

This is our latest video in a new series of posts about the mechanics and operation of Red Notices and diffusions. Both these mechanisms are very effective tools in international policing, but they can also have really significant adverse impacts on individuals who have been wrongly targeted.
