Interpol notices don't really have authority. They can cause an organisation that does have authority, like a national police force, to choose to search for and detain someone.

Having a red notice issued against you is a real pain in the ass:

It's not an arrest warrant, but countries tend to just blindly trust them and they percolate down to street-level police automatically. Yeah, they chose to trust them in the first place, but there's often no case-by-case judgement happening until after the target has been detained.
