Oussama El Omari v. The International Criminal Police Organization, aka INTERPOL
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, No. 21-1458 · judgment May 24, 2022
Before the decision, about 2.2× the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a Second Circuit decision below, a petition filed soon after the judgment below, and a circuit split argued in the petition.
Question presented
I. Whether INTERPOL is entitled to immunity as a “public” international organization under 22 U.S.C. § 288 of the IOIA as interpreted by Jam v. Int’l Fin. Corp., 139 S.Ct. 759 (2019), when INTERPOL’s treaty ratification failed and its existence is merely due to its own “1956 Constitution” which has no roots in state action? II. Even assuming, arguendo, INTERPOL is an immune public international organization under the IOIA, whether INTERPOL waived immunity under § 288a(b) by INTERPOL’s 2008 Agreement with France, when INTERPOL initially agreed to arbitration and then later in 2016 abrogated that arbitration right?
