Interpol: Law and Practice

By Ben Keith & Rhys Davies

Ben and Rhys are delighted to announce the publication of their first book, Interpol: Law and Practice.

The book comes at an inflection point in Interpol’s history. Strongman politics, which many thought buried with the twentieth century, has resurfaced, while technological advances and economic nationalism challenge established international frameworks. Nations increasingly use international organisations as instruments for their own ends – some legitimate, others problematic. Against this backdrop, there has been a marked increase in the issuance and deployment of Interpol Red Notices.

As Red Notices proliferate, more people need to understand a system few grasp. The mechanics of how a notice is issued and how to challenge one, remain opaque to most who face them. This is the gap that Interpol: Law and Practice seeks to fill.

The book gives you the roadmap to the inner workings of INTERPOL proceedings, so you can assess risk quickly and advise clients confidently. It gives practitioners the practical support they need to handle Red Notices, extradition, immigration, asylum, and related proceedings efficiently, with a stronger grasp of procedure, strategy, and the international context.

  • Gain practical direction on Red Notices so you can protect your client’s position
  • Draft winning CCF applications with step-by-step templates and real-world examples
  • Strengthen your case strategy with analysis of arguments commonly raised before the CCF
  • Advise more effectively on INTERPOL-related extradition, immigration, and asylum issues
  • Never get caught off guard by the complexities of international law
  • Checklists, Key Points and Tables make the information easily accessible
  • Save research time with key legal instruments, cases, and references

Interpol: Law and Practice is essential reading for legal practitioners, non-governmental organisations, affected individuals, and other interested parties, looking for a comprehensive guide for navigating the Interpol system.
