Interpol, the Red Notice and Philippine Extradition Treaties

THE Interpol (International Police) was founded in Vienna, Austria in 1923 and is now based in Lyon, France. It is also known as the International Criminal Police Organization, an international organization that facilitates cooperation between the criminal police forces of, as of today, more than 194 member countries. One of its main functions is to track down fugitives from justice through the issuance of Red Notices. The Interpol is not a police force, but an organization for international police cooperation and communication. So, you must forget about Jacky Chan and his flying kicks.

The Interpol connects to all countries through a secure communication system. The organization manages, as of today, 19 police databases and offers assistance to locate or to triangulate the whereabouts of fugitives from justice.
