A Practical Guide to INTERPOL and Red Notices

This book provides criminal law practitioners with a practical, user-friendly guide to the law and guidance relating to Red Notices, how they can be identified and in turn challenged. The text considers the interplay with extradition law with coverage of European Arrest Warrants. The narrative is complemented by a collection of the key INTERPOL Resolutions, Statues and Operating Rules to provide a single source 'one-stop shop' for those who need information on any aspect of Red Notices and the workings of INTERPOL. Since the last edition, INTERPOL now regularly publishes redacted versions of decisions taken in relation to applications to delete red notices. The decisions provide helpful insights into both INTERPOL's procedural approach and the substantive nature of decisions to delete or maintain red notices. The new edition reflects the increasing ways in which red notices can be challenged and provides assistance to practitioners in relation to INTERPOL's substantive and procedural approach to such challenges. INTERPOL has also recently begun to publish data on its processing of red notices which permits a much greater analysis of how INTERPOL manages Red Notices and diffusions. Accordingly, diffusions are covered in greater detail in the second edition. There is also expansion of the chapters that focus on INTERPOL litigation (utilising the much increased publication of INTERPOL decisions).
