Does a French refusal to extradite prevent arrest in other countries?

No. A French court’s refusal to extradite has no binding effect outside France. If an Interpol Red Notice remains active, you face arrest risk in any of Interpol’s 196 member states. Many countries — including the US, UK, and UAE — have independent extradition treaties with the requesting state and will conduct their own legal assessment. A French refusal based on nationality will not apply elsewhere. The only way to eliminate global arrest risk is to secure deletion of the Red Notice through Interpol’s Commission for the Control of Files or resolve the underlying foreign proceedings.
