Assessing INTERPOL’s Revised Rules on the Processing of Data

                 INTERPOL’s “Rules on the Processing of Data” (RPD) are second in importance only to its Constitution, as the RPD set out how INTERPOL interprets the requirements of its Constitution in practice. RPD violations are frequently utilized by targets of Red Notices and their attorneys to request the deletion of abusive or improper requests for cooperation. The RPD are also subject to frequent revision, having been amended four times (2014, 2016, 2019, and 2023) since their adoption in 2011.
