International Criminal Police Organization
The International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol) was created in 1923 in order to help prevent and put a halt to international crime. Interpol's policing operations are particularly important in countries where diplomatic relations are strained or non-existent. To maintain political neutrality, the constitution of Interpol forbids involvement in political, military, religious and racial crimes. Interpol therefore focuses on public safety, terrorism, organized crime, genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. There are 188 member countries of Interpol. The Interpol General Assembly meets annually to discuss international policing policies, finances, and working methods of the international task force and makes decision by simple majority. Previous resolution papers published by Interpol are scattered around the Interpol website, and can be located by navigating to the year of the General Assembly > Documents > Resolutions (e.g. http://www.interpol.int/Public/ICPO/GeneralAssembly/Agn78/Resolutions/default.asp)
Interpol is a Beginner Committee.
