And Interpol helps him.

Interpol – International Criminal Police Organization, is the world’s largest organization. Currently, Interpol unites 194member states. There are branches – National Central Bureaus of Interpol in each of them. Interpol is the second international intergovernmental organization in the world in terms of the number of member countries after the UN.

The following countries, as well as some member states of UN do not belong to Interpol: Kyrgyzstan, North Korea, San Marino, Bhutan, Kiribati, Vatican City, Turkmenistan, Solomon Islands, Tajikistan, Samoa, Vanuatu, Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, Federated States of Micronesia, Palau, Tuvalu.

The headquarters of the organization is located in France in the city of Lyon. This is the location of the permanent central bodies of Interpol. The working languages of Interpol are English, French, Spanish and Arabic. It operates on the basis of the statute adopted in 1956. Since 1946, it has had an official mouthpiece – the Journal,,International Criminal Police Review».

Its role is the capability, to enable the police around the world to cooperate for a safer world and public safety. Its task is to coordinate the efforts of a participant-countries in the fight against the crime for mutual benefits. Interpol’s communications network and other services provide highly effective assistance in the field of extradition and mutual legal assistance. Regardless of whether, the request is made under a treaty, under domestic law or under the principle of mutuality (The provisions of the international Covenant on civil and political rights – General Assembly Resolution 2200A (XXI), Universal Declaration of Human Rights, General Assembly Resolution 217A (III), the convention against organized crime are applicable to issues of mutual legal assistance and extradition).

The main task is to coordinate the efforts of individual countries and pursue a unified policy in the area of cooperation on combating crime. Other main tasks include coordinating the international search, as well as combating against human trafficking, organized crime groups, drug smuggling, economic and high-tech crimes, counterfeiting, forgery of securities and child pornography. Recently, much attention has been paid to public safety and the fight against terrorism.

Interpol has «response units», but they are not special forces, but instructors who, if necessary, help police officers from different countries, for example, if there is a very unfavorable crime situation or a large-scale event is being prepared, the security of which needs to be ensured. By itself, Interpol does not conduct investigation, prepare documents and does not announce anyone on the wanted list on its own. It is important, that Interpol ensures the cooperation of law enforcement agencies of the countries of the world, even in cases where there are no diplomatic relations between them. The sense of states participating in an international police organization is the ability to find and detain a citizen of their country, suspected of a crime, almost anywhere in the world and find and transfer to foreign colleagues the criminals wanted by them.
