Does Argentina recognise refugee status as a bar to extradition based on an Interpol notice?

Argentina has a strong tradition of asylum protection under the 1951 Refugee Convention. If you hold refugee status granted by CONARE (Argentina’s refugee authority) or UNHCR, this constitutes a significant legal barrier to extradition to the country of persecution. Argentine courts have consistently held that extraditing a recognised refugee to their country of origin violates non-refoulement obligations. However, refugee status does not automatically result in Red Notice deletion — separate CCF proceedings remain necessary. The requesting country may also seek extradition for offences unrelated to the persecution grounds, complicating the defence.
