How is Interpol viewed?

Countries involved

Creator

  • As of today, there are 190 countries around the world that are involved in this organization.

The offical creation of INTERPOL's headquarters were established in Vienna, Austria.

The head of the Vienna police, Johann Schober, became the organization’s first president.

  • Each country has their own bureau, a National Central Bureau (NCB), which allows each country to be connected in order to work together.

Although Interpol is known for being a fairly neutral organization, it has been involved in some controversies. Some have criticized the agency for its role in arrests that critics contend were politically motivated.

In 2013, Interpol was criticized over some of its multi-million dollar deals such as with FIFA, Philip Morris, and the pharmaceutical industry. The criticism was mainly about the lack of transparency and potential conflicts of interest.

Power of State

History

  • INTERPOL also allows the states to go beyond national borders, by supporting other INTERPOL member countries who seek assistance in criminal investigations.

History

  • Interpol helps to restrict and limit international crime world wide, in fact in 2001 1 400 "red notice" criminals were arrested by Interpol.

Formed: September 7, 1923

Employees: 703 (2012)

Annual budget: 70 million

After the war INTERPOL accepted an offer from the French government of a headquarters in Paris together with a staff for the General Secretariat consisting of French police officials. INTERPOL was revived, though the loss or destruction of all its prewar records required that it be completely reorganized.

  • An international criminal "Wanted list" is created with the help of each member country.

  • The list requests international attention

The idea of Interpol was born in 1914 at the International Criminal Police Congress in Monaco

The meeting brought police officers and judicial representatives from 24 countries around the world, to find ways to flight and solve crime.

INTERPOL flourished until 1938, when Nazi Germany annexed Austria; it's records were subsequently relocated to Berlin. The outbreak of World War II ended INTERPOL's

activities.

  • In 2009, Obama passed a law that gives INTERPOL the same privileges and immunity as other international organizations operating within the States have.
  • This gives INTERPOL more power within the USA, because there are less restrictions limiting them from law enforcement.
