INTERPOL Mechanisms in Latin America: Mexico and Argentina

This ARGA Observatory report examines the use of INTERPOL mechanisms in Mexico and Argentina and their interaction with national arrest powers, extradition procedures and international protection. It compares procedural deadlines, judicial remedies, Mexican amparo and applications to the Commission for the Control of INTERPOL’s Files. Four judicial case studies include Mexican Supreme Court jurisprudence, the Apablaza Guerra proceedings, Wong Ho Wing and Pacheco Tineo. Six hypothetical scenarios illustrate how to coordinate challenges to detention, extradition and the processing of INTERPOL data. This publication includes the Russian and English versions.
