A Red Notice is not an international arrest warrant, but it can be used to ask for someone to be sent to another country. Different countries have different rules for extradition, which are based on bilateral or multilateral agreements and local laws. These rules have the following effects on Red Notices:
Legal foundation: Extradition treaties or agreements between nations are the legal basis for countries to work together on Red Notices that include extradition.
Dual criminality: Many extradition laws require that the alleged crime be deemed a crime in both the country asking for extradition and the country asking for extradition. If the crime listed on a Red Notice doesn't fulfill this condition, extradition could not be allowed.
Political offense exception: Most extradition laws provide a political offense exemption that says people can't be sent to jail for acts that were motivated by politics. If a country thinks that a Red Notice was issued for political reasons, it might refuse to send the person to jail.
Concerns about human rights: Extradition laws may include protections for human rights, giving the requested nation the authority to refuse extradition if the seeking country is likely to break human rights.
