An '''Interpol notice''' is an international alert circulated by [[Interpol]] to communicate information about crimes, criminals, and threats by police in a member state (or an authorised international entity) to their counterparts around the world. The information disseminated via notices concerns individuals wanted for serious crimes, missing persons, unidentified bodies, possible threats, prison escapes, and criminals' ''[[modus operandi]]''.<ref name="Fact Sheet">{{cite web |url=https://www.interpol.int/en/How-we-work/Notices/About-Notices |title=About Notices |author= |publisher=Interpol |access-date=1 January 2020 |archive-date=15 February 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200215023526/https://www.interpol.int/en/How-we-work/Notices/About-Notices |url-status=live }}</ref>

There are eight types of notices, seven of which are colour-coded by their function: red, blue, green, yellow, black, orange, and purple. The best-known notice is the ''red notice'' which is the "closest instrument to an international [[arrest warrant]] in use today".<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.justice.gov/usao/eousa/foia_reading_room/usam/title9/crm00611.htm |title=Interpol Red Notices |website=[[United States Attorneys' Manual]] |publisher=[[United States Department of Justice]] |access-date=1 October 2013 |archive-date=6 December 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131206195827/http://www.justice.gov/usao/eousa/foia_reading_room/usam/title9/crm00611.htm |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="Orange Notice">{{cite press release |title=INTERPOL creates new international alert notice |date=24 February 2004 |publisher=Interpol |location=[[Lyon]], [[France]] |url=https://www.interpol.int/en/News-and-Events/News/2004/INTERPOL-creates-new-international-alert-notice |access-date=1 January 2020 |quote=INTERPOL already issues a series of colour-coded notices, including the famous Red Notice for wanted international fugitives |archive-date=1 January 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200101192850/https://www.interpol.int/en/News-and-Events/News/2004/INTERPOL-creates-new-international-alert-notice |url-status=live }}</ref> An eighth ''special notice'' is issued at the request of the [[United Nations Security Council]].

Notices published by Interpol are made either on the organisation's own initiative or are based on requests from national central bureaus (NCBs) of member states or authorised international entities such as the [[United Nations]] and the [[International Criminal Court]]. All notices are published on Interpol's secure website. Extracts of notices may also be published on Interpol's public website if the requesting entity agrees.

Interpol may only publish a notice that adheres to all the proper legal conditions. For example, a notice will not be published if it violates Interpol's constitution, which forbids the organisation from undertaking activities of a political, military, religious, or racial character. Interpol may refuse to publish a notice that it considers inadvisable or a potential risk.

Notices may be issued in any of the four official languages of Interpol: [[English language|English]], [[French language|French]], [[Spanish language|Spanish]], and [[Arabic language|Arabic]].<ref name="Notices">{{cite web |url=http://www.interpol.int/INTERPOL-expertise/Notices |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190220052911/http://www.interpol.int/INTERPOL-expertise/Notices |url-status=dead |archive-date=20 February 2019 |title=Notices |author= |publisher=Interpol |access-date=1 January 2020}}</ref>

Similar to the notice is another request for cooperation or alert mechanism known as a "diffusion". This is less formal than a notice, but also is used to request the arrest or location of an individual or additional information in relation to a police investigation. A diffusion is circulated directly by a member state or international entity to the countries of their choice, or to the entire Interpol membership and is simultaneously recorded in Interpol's databases.<ref name="Fact Sheet" /><ref name="Notices" />

==History==
{{Missing information|section|recent notice counts|date=February 2023}}

The International notice system was created in 1946 as Interpol re-established itself after [[World War II]] in the [[Paris]]ian suburb of [[Saint-Cloud]]. It initially consisted of six colour-coded notices; Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Black, and Purple. In 2004, the seventh colour was added, Orange.<ref name="Orange Notice" />

In 2005, the Interpol-United Nations Security Council special notice was created at the request of the UN Security Council through [[United Nations Security Council Resolution 1617|Resolution 1617]] to provide better tools to help the Security Council carry out its mandate regarding the freezing of assets, travel bans, and arms embargoes aimed at individuals and entities associated with [[Al-Qaeda]] and the [[Taliban]] and was adopted by Interpol at its 74th General Assembly in [[Berlin]] in September 2005.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.interpol.int/en/News-and-Events/News/2005/INTERPOL-to-introduce-new-international-notice-to-assist-UN |title=INTERPOL to introduce new international notice to assist UN |date=21 September 2005 |publisher=Interpol |format=PDF |access-date=1 January 2020 |archive-date=1 January 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200101192839/https://www.interpol.int/en/News-and-Events/News/2005/INTERPOL-to-introduce-new-international-notice-to-assist-UN |url-status=live }}</ref>

{{further|Interpol#Abusive requests for Interpol arrests}}
In his book ''[[Red Notice (book)|Red Notice: A True Story of High Finance, Murder, and One Man's Fight for Justice]]'', [[Bill Browder]], the CEO of [[Hermitage Capital Management]], describes how the Russian government repeatedly requested that Interpol issue a red notice for his arrest. Interpol refused to do so on the basis that it deemed the request was "predominantly political in nature and therefore contrary to INTERPOL's rules and regulations". Unable to secure his extradition, Browder was subsequently tried and convicted by a Moscow court for tax evasion ''[[trial in absentia|in absentia]]''.<ref>{{cite press release |author= |title=INTERPOL cannot be used by the Russian Federation to seek the arrest of Mr William Browder |url=https://www.interpol.int/en/News-and-Events/News/2013/INTERPOL-cannot-be-used-by-the-Russian-Federation-to-seek-the-arrest-of-Mr-William-Browder |location=Lyon, France |publisher=Interpol |date=26 July 2013 |access-date=1 January 2020 |df=dmy-all |archive-date=1 January 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200101192834/https://www.interpol.int/en/News-and-Events/News/2013/INTERPOL-cannot-be-used-by-the-Russian-Federation-to-seek-the-arrest-of-Mr-William-Browder |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last=Zug |first=James |author-link=James Zug |date=31 January 2015 |title='Red Notice' by Bill Browder |url=https://www.bostonglobe.com/arts/books/2015/01/31/review-red-notice-true-story-high-finance-murder-and-one-man-fight-for-justice-bill-browder/0nyJkdoh2hiwGlOrOF2aAM/story.html |newspaper=[[The Boston Globe]] |access-date=23 March 2015 |df=dmy-all |archive-date=12 July 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190712035442/https://www.bostonglobe.com/arts/books/2015/01/31/review-red-notice-true-story-high-finance-murder-and-one-man-fight-for-justice-bill-browder/0nyJkdoh2hiwGlOrOF2aAM/story.html |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |author= |date=31 January 2015 |title=Red sky in the morning |url=https://www.economist.com/news/books-and-arts/21641125-salutary-tale-robbery-and-redress-red-sky-morning |newspaper=[[The Economist]] |access-date=23 March 2015 |df=dmy-all |archive-date=16 March 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180316003628/https://www.economist.com/news/books-and-arts/21641125-salutary-tale-robbery-and-redress-red-sky-morning |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last=Grimes |first=William |author-link=William Grimes (journalist) |date=1 February 2015 |title=To Russia, With Capitalist Ambitions |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2015/02/02/arts/bill-browders-red-notice-about-his-russian-misadventures.html |newspaper=[[The New York Times]] |access-date=23 March 2015 |df=dmy-all |archive-date=11 November 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191111084112/https://www.nytimes.com/2015/02/02/arts/bill-browders-red-notice-about-his-russian-misadventures.html |url-status=live }}</ref>

In January 2017, United Kingdom-based NGO [[Fair Trials]] called on Interpol to introduce more rigorous checks. Fair Trial chief executive Jago Russell stated, "Interpol has been allowing itself to be used by oppressive regimes across the world to export the persecution of human rights defenders, journalists and political opponents". There have been concerns about conflict of interest as well as in March 2017, the UAE donated $54 million to Interpol, which roughly equalled the contributions by all other member states.<ref>{{cite web |title=UAE donates $54m to Interpol |url=https://tribune.com.pk/story/1367033/uae-donates-54m-interpol |df=dmy-all |work=[[The Express Tribune]] |date=March 27, 2017 |access-date=April 24, 2018 |archive-date=February 20, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200220080028/https://tribune.com.pk/story/1367033/uae-donates-54m-interpol/ |url-status=live }}</ref> Interpol's secretary-general, Jurgen Stock, stated that Interpol had introduced a task force to review requests "even more intensively".<ref name="AlJazeera">{{cite news|last1=Spiller|first1=Sarah|last2=Macrae|first2=Callum|title=Interpol: Red Alert!|url=http://www.aljazeera.com/programmes/peopleandpower/2017/01/interpol-red-alert-170111133954581.html|access-date=31 July 2017|work=Al Jazeera|df=dmy-all|archive-date=1 January 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200101192832/https://www.aljazeera.com/programmes/peopleandpower/2017/01/interpol-red-alert-170111133954581.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

In June 2020, [[Iran]] issued an arrest warrant for U.S. President [[Donald Trump]] and 35 other U.S. political and military officials for their role in the [[assassination of Qasem Soleimani]] and asked Interpol to issue a red notice.<ref>{{cite news |title=Iran has issued an arrest warrant for Trump over the killing of Qassem Soleimani, and asked Interpol to help detain him |url=https://www.businessinsider.com/iran-issues-arrest-warrant-donald-trump-killing-qassem-soleimani-interpol-2020-6 |work=[[Business Insider]] |date=29 June 2020 |access-date=8 September 2020 |archive-date=27 January 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210127071406/https://www.businessinsider.com/iran-issues-arrest-warrant-donald-trump-killing-qassem-soleimani-interpol-2020-6 |url-status=live }}</ref>

It was shown in 2013 that Interpol red notices were sometimes inaccurate and could be politically motivated. [[NGO]]s such as [[Fair Trials International]] have pointed to its limited internal controls to tackle political abuses. Many of its members have poor human rights records and corrupt, undemocratic governments and have been accused of abusing the red notice networks for political purposes.<ref name="factcheck">{{cite web|url=https://theconversation.com/factcheck-are-interpol-red-notices-often-wrong-15377|title=FactCheck: are Interpol red notices often wrong?|last1=Baldino|first1=Daniel|last2=Wardlaw|first2=Grant|date=7 July 2013|publisher=The Conversation|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180828205406/http://theconversation.com/factcheck-are-interpol-red-notices-often-wrong-15377|archive-date=28 August 2018|access-date=9 February 2019 |df=dmy-all}}</ref>

Interpol issued a new refugee policy in 2015, stipulating that a red notice should not be issued against a refugee when it has been requested by the country from which the refugee initially fled.<ref name="Explainer">{{cite web|url=https://theconversation.com/explainer-what-is-an-interpol-red-notice-and-how-does-it-work-110688|title=Explainer: what is an Interpol red notice and how does it work?|last=Finlay|first=Lorraine|date=30 January 2019 |publisher=The Conversation |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190206095829/https://theconversation.com/explainer-what-is-an-interpol-red-notice-and-how-does-it-work-110688 |archive-date=6 February 2019 |access-date=9 February 2019}}</ref>

In November 2018, [[Bahrain]] issued a red notice for footballer and [[dissident]] [[Hakeem al-Araibi]], who had fled Bahrain in 2014 and been granted [[refugee]] status in Australia some years later. He was arrested on arrival in Thailand with his wife for a [[honeymoon]] in November 2018 by Thai police on the basis of the red notice, despite the red notice being withdrawn a few days later on the basis of illegality. On 11 February, he was released after Thai prosecutors dropped the case, arriving in Australia the following day.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/11/world/asia/thailand-soccer-hakeem-al-araibi.html|title=Soccer Player Who Faced Extradition From Thailand to Bahrain Is Back in Australia|first=Austin|last=Ramzy|date=11 February 2019|access-date=17 February 2019|work=The New York Times|archive-date=18 February 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190218082127/https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/11/world/asia/thailand-soccer-hakeem-al-araibi.html|url-status=live}}</ref> He was granted Australian citizenship one month later, on 12 March 2019.

There has been growing concern about refugees being targeted by red notices illegally. Recent examples before al-Araibi's case include the detention of Russian activist Petr Silaev in [[Spain]] and Algerian human rights lawyer [[Rachid Mesli]] in Italy. In al-Araibi's case, despite the red notice being withdrawn only a few days after being issued, Bahrain nonetheless issued an extradition order, and Thailand complied, leading to a trial in which al-Araibi had to defend his opposition to the extradition.<ref name="Explainer" />

China has used red notices to repatriate [[Uyghurs]] around the world{{Cn|date=September 2022}} although one of them has been cancelled upon review.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Rose |first1=David |title=Interpol cancels arrest warrant for Uighur activist Yidiresi Aishan |url=https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/interpol-cancels-arrest-warrant-for-uighur-activist-yidiresi-aishan-vqbld3grd |access-date=26 August 2021 |work=The Times |date=August 25, 2021 |language=English |archive-date=25 August 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210825184021/https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/interpol-cancels-arrest-warrant-for-uighur-activist-yidiresi-aishan-vqbld3grd |url-status=live }}</ref>

==Commission for the Control of Interpol's Files==

The Commission for the Control of Interpol's Files (CCF) is an independent monitoring body. It operates in line with a number of official rules and documents and has three main functions:
* Monitoring the application of data protection rules to personal data processed by Interpol
* Advising with regard to any operations or projects concerning the processing of personal information
* Processing requests for access to Interpol's files

In 2008, the Interpol General Assembly voted to amend Interpol's constitution to integrate the CCF into its internal legal structure, thereby guaranteeing its independence.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.interpol.int/About-INTERPOL/Structure-and-governance/Commission-for-the-Control-of-INTERPOL%27s-Files|title=Commission for the Control of INTERPOL's Files|work=interpol.int|access-date=6 August 2015|archive-date=11 May 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170511115849/https://www.interpol.int/About-INTERPOL/Structure-and-governance/Commission-for-the-Control-of-INTERPOL%27s-Files|url-status=dead}}</ref>

The CCF's most notable function, however, is to consider legal petitions submitted by individuals requesting the revocation of red notices. Such petitions, as a rule, only succeed when a red notice is deemed to infringe Interpol's Constitution either because it offends the [[Universal Declaration of Human Rights]] or because it was issued for political, religious, military, or racial reasons.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.interpol.int/About-INTERPOL/Legal-materials/The-Constitution|title=The Constitution|work=interpol.int|access-date=6 August 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140412195541/http://www.interpol.int/About-INTERPOL/Legal-materials/The-Constitution|archive-date=12 April 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref> In an interview given to [[Forbes]] Africa Magazine in July 2013, leading international defense attorney [[Nick Kaufman]] observed that it may take months for the CCF to rule on such a petition adding that the review body "doesn't have to give reasons for its decision and there is no right of appeal".<ref>{{cite web |url=https://jaycaboz.wordpress.com/2013/07/26/publications-july-forbes-africa-magazine/ |title=Publications July Forbes Africa Magazine |date=26 July 2013 |publisher=Jay Caboz |access-date=6 August 2015 |archive-date=28 February 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190228133637/https://jaycaboz.wordpress.com/2013/07/26/publications-july-forbes-africa-magazine/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

==In popular culture==

* In the original 1985 version of the [[Broderbund]] video game ''[[Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego? (1985 video game)|Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego?]]'', the first part of the player's objective in each mission is to obtain an Interpol red notice (imprecisely described as a "warrant to arrest") against a member of a fictional [[organized crime|crime syndicate]].{{citation needed|date=November 2017}}
* ''[[Black Notice]]'', a crime novel by [[Patricia Cornwell]], was named after the Interpol procedure.
* The films [[Red Notice (film)|''Red Notice'']] and ''[[SAS: Red Notice]]'' were named after the Interpol procedure.
