Commission for the Control of Files (CCF)
Interpol's independent body that handles complaints about the accuracy, fairness and legality of data held in Interpol's systems.
The CCF is Interpol's internal appeal mechanism. Any individual can file a complaint asking to review, correct, or delete a Red Notice or other Interpol record about them. The CCF reviews compliance with Interpol's Constitution (especially Article 3 on non-political notices) and its data-processing rules. The CCF has in recent years been increasingly active in deleting or de-publishing Red Notices judged to be politically motivated. Notable cases include the removal of notices requested by Russia against political opponents, Turkey against journalists and academics, and several Central Asian states against diaspora activists. Critics argue that many abusive notices still slip through.
