Interpol is a bloody joke. Recently they accepted a submission from Russia to put an international arrest warrant on an activist named Ihor Mazur right before he was going to EU to appear at some conference. The guy, is not a terrorist, nor an extremist, but he was arrested on the Polish border and it took 2 days of effort from Ukrainian and Polish embassies for Interpol to finally accept the Russian claim as bogus and withdraw the warrant. He was eventually freed, but for Interpol to even accept this from Russia on their word alone was insane.
