Ben Keith and Rhys Davies author an opinion piece calling for a more robust approach by Interpol to countries that misuse the Interpol Red Notice system.
In an article for Newsweek Magazine Ben writes:
“With Interpol unwilling to stand up to authoritarian states it is left to national and international courts to try and stop the abusive red notice requests after they are executed… Interpol must take a more robust approach in dealing with those countries. The democratic nations of Interpol, while outnumbered at committee level, still have significant financial clout by disproportionately contributing to the organization's revenues. Those countries must be more vocal in their criticism of Interpol.”
