75th Anniversary of the ICPO - Interpol
The International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol) is an intergovernmental organization whose aim is to ensure cooperation between the criminal police authorities of each member state with a view to preventing and repressing common law offenses.
Founded in 1923 as the International Criminal Police Commission, the Organization has 176 member countries to date. Its head office has been in Lyon (France) since 1989. A general assembly composed of delegates from member states meets annually to adopt the most important measures. She works in conjunction with the executive committee responsible for preparing its deliberations and monitoring the application of its decisions. The General Secretariat ensures police cooperation on a daily basis. At its head, the General Secretariat, assisted by international civil servants, executes the decisions taken at the general assembly.
Finally, a national central office is established in each Member State. For the sake of effective cooperation, he must remain in permanent contact with the other offices, the authorities of his country and the Secretary General. These different structures allow the organization to fight on a large scale against organized crime, but its statutes prohibit it from any intervention in matters of a political, military, religious or racial nature.
Algeria joined this organization during the 32nd session of the General Assembly which was held in Helsinki (Finland) from August 21 to 28, 1963.
