#1 The Food and Agriculture Organization and the International Monetary Fund have had this diplomatic status for half a century.

This did not empower them to operate in America. The FAO could not interfere with an American farm. The IMF could not walk into an American bank.

Likewise Interpol cannot arrest anyone in America.

All this order does is give Interpol the same diplomatic status as UNESCO.

#3 John,
OK, but doesn't that make them immune from US prosecution if they actually DO make an arrest in the US? It's like they left the rules but removed the penalty for violation?

#4 Interpol relies on local law enforcement (in the US - the DOJ) to enforce its red notices.

Interpol itself cannot arrest anyone in the US.

http://www.interpol.int/Public/Wanted/Default.asp

An Interpol Red Notice is not an international arrest warrant.

The persons concerned are wanted by national jurisdictions (or the International Criminal Tribunals, where appropriate) and Interpol's role is to assist the national police forces in identifying or locating those persons with a view to their arrest and extradition.

These red notices allow the warrant to be circulated worldwide with the request that the wanted person be arrested with a view to extradition

#5 Thanks for the clarification, John. The way the article was written made it seem that Interpol was being given carte blanche to go after US citizens.
