Interpol, the world’s largest international police organization, has 195 member states, but Russia alone is responsible for 38 per cent of extradition requests.

      It will have some side effects, like helping make Russia a haven for criminals from not-Russia and helping make not-Russia a haven for criminals from Russia.

      I think that a better approach might be establishing a presumption of invalidity and raising the bar required to treat a Red Notice as valid if multiple rejected ones for someone have been issued, or something like that.

      He’s now living in Warsaw, where he says Polish police have detained him at Interpol’s behest four times over the past 18 months.

      In each instance, he’s been released once authorities realized the charges were baseless.

      Like, if you have four requests for someone in 18 months rejected, even if you aren’t intentionally abusing the system, you probably need to tighten up your standards.

        I feel that the problem is that they’re reviewed after an arrest is made. Why spend all the resources and waste time to then review it after?

          I mean, it makes sense in a case where the system isn’t being abused, because you don’t want someone to slip out of the country while you’re messing around. In that situation, better to inconvenience a few people for a short period than to let suspects escape.

    If Russia will not submit those charged in the ICC then they should lose access to requests to interpol.
