In support of Taiwan’s participation as an observer in Interpol

The fight against crime extends across national boundaries. Indeed, Interpol’s Constitution refers to involving “all criminal police authorities” to establish a global public security network and create a cooperation platform for police agencies from around the world.

In 1961, Taiwan joined Interpol under the name National Central Bureau of the Republic of China. Since 1984, when its status and rights in the organization were taken over by mainland China, Taiwan has not been able to participate in Interpol-related activities, affecting its efforts to formulate counterterrorism regulations and enhance professional capabilities.
