On 14 January 2026, Red Notice Monitor Editor Rhys Davies publishes a piece in Solicitors Journal on how authoritarian states exploit Interpol Red Notices as a tool of transnational repression, and the remedies available to those who find themselves targeted.
The article was first published in Solicitors Journal and can be read aquí.
In his article, Rhys Davies explains that while Red Notices serve a legitimate law enforcement purpose, the system remains vulnerable to abuse. He examines the remedies available to those targeted, including applications to Interpol’s Commission for the Control of Files (CCF), and addresses questions about Interpol’s institutional accountability following the adoption of the General Agreement on the Privileges and Immunities of Interpol at the November 2025 General Assembly.
Rhys writes:
Interpol’s Red Notice system is not going away — nor should it. When used properly, it is a vital tool in the fight against serious cross-border crime.
But the scope for abuse is real, and for those caught in the crosshairs, the consequences can be devastating. Transnational repression takes many forms, and the misuse of Interpol’s systems is among its most insidious: it cloaks political persecution in the language of law enforcement.
