About this Committee
The International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL) was established in 1923 to strengthen global police cooperation and combat transnational crime. As the world's largest international policing organization, INTERPOL connects law enforcement agencies across nearly every country through secure communication, intelligence sharing, and coordinated operations. The organization assists member states in addressing crimes that extend beyond national borders, including terrorism, cybercrime, human trafficking, financial crimes, drug trafficking, environmental crime, and organized criminal networks. While INTERPOL does not possess arrest powers, it plays a vital role in facilitating international investigations, issuing notices for wanted persons, and supporting cross-border law enforcement efforts. As transnational crime continues to evolve, INTERPOL remains committed to fostering international collaboration, enhancing public safety, and supporting member states in combating emerging global security threats.
