Diffusions are circulated according to the issuing NCB’s instructions — they may target all 196 member states, a regional group, or specific countries. Interpol does not disclose the distribution list to the subject. Through a formal status check request, we can confirm whether a Diffusion exists and identify the issuing NCB, but the exact recipient countries remain confidential under Interpol’s rules. Pre-travel risk assessment therefore relies on analysing the requesting state’s known enforcement partners and bilateral relationships with your destination countries.
