INTERPOL : red notices
Wendy I. Zeldin (Author), Law Library of Congress (U.S.). Global Legal Research Directorate (Issuing body)
"Red Notices issued by INTERPOL facilitate the provisional arrest of internationally wanted individuals as part of pre-extradition procedures. Although it seems in general that INTERPOL must depend on its member countries for a Red Notice request being legitimate and that its chief role in verification of a request is to make sure that all the required sets of information have been provided, there are certain mechanisms through which it may further assess a request's legitimacy. For example, before publishing a notice to the National Central Bureaus (law enforcement contact points in each country) concerned, INTERPOL's General Secretariat will consider the necessity and advisability of such action; it must also ensure that the conditions attached to a given type of notice (e.g., for a Red Notice, issuance of an arrest warrant or court decision) have been met. Moreover, INTERPOL may not undertake 'any intervention or activities of a political, military, religious or racial character'"--Executive summary, page [1]
