The General Assembly of INTERPOL, the world’s largest international police organization, serves as its supreme governing body, convening representatives from all 195 member countries annually. Through its extensive network, INTERPOL facilitates cooperation among law enforcement agencies worldwide, addressing transnational crimes and enhancing global security.
INTERPOL’s mission is to enable police forces globally to collaborate effectively, making the world a safer place. Its high-tech infrastructure provides technical and operational support, along with access to criminal databases containing vital information on fingerprints, DNA, stolen vehicles, firearms, and more. By offering targeted training, expert investigative support, and secure communication channels, INTERPOL equips law enforcement agencies with the tools needed to combat 21st-century crime.
The General Assembly plays a crucial role in shaping INTERPOL’s activities, reviewing its program of activities, and approving financial policies. It also elects members to the Executive Committee, which provides guidance between sessions. With each member country having one vote, decisions are made through a simple or two-thirds majority, depending on the subject.
India, one of INTERPOL’s oldest members, joined in 1949, with the Central Bureau of Investigation serving as its National Central Bureau. Over the years, India has actively participated in INTERPOL events and hosted several conferences, including the 90th General Assembly held in New Delhi in 2022.
To commemorate the 90th General Assembly of INTERPOL in New Delhi and recognize its pivotal role in international policing, the Department of Posts is issuing a Commemorative Postage Stamp. This stamp celebrates INTERPOL’s efforts in fostering global cooperation among law enforcement agencies and acknowledges its contributions to enhancing security worldwide.
