‎

INTERPOL is the global hub for international police cooperation, where delegates deal with transnational threats that no single state can handle alone. Crime in this committee moves across borders — cybercrime, trafficking, terrorism, financial crime, environmental crime — and the challenge is designing mechanisms that allow countries to share intelligence, strengthen law enforcement capacities, and respond collectively without violating sovereignty.

Debate in INTERPOL blends security, law enforcement, and human rights. States must weigh the need for effective policing against concerns over misuse of data, political persecution, or uneven investigative capacities. This creates a fast-moving, detail-heavy environment where practical solutions matter far more than rhetoric.

Committee Dynamics & Expectations

INTERPOL requires delegates to think operationally. Rather than broad political statements, effective participation means proposing real systems: databases, procedures, joint task forces, training programs, cybersecurity protocols, and safeguards for data protection.

You’ll be expected to:

• Balance cross-border cooperation with national sovereignty and legal constraints.
• Understand how law enforcement agencies work and what tools they realistically use.
• Negotiate sensitive issues involving data, extradition, and information sharing.
• Draft solutions that are specific, implementable, and respectful of human rights standards.

Expect active lobbying, technical discussions, and a focus on logistics and coordination rather than high-level political drama.

Key Features:

1. Operational, detail-oriented debate focused on real law enforcement mechanisms.
2. Emphasis on information-sharing systems, cybersecurity, and joint investigative tools.
3. Strong need for human rights protections to prevent political misuse of INTERPOL notices.
4. Cooperation-heavy solutions that depend on states’ legal frameworks and willingness to share sensitive data.
5. Resolutions that promote capacity-building, standardized procedures, and coordinated global responses to crime.
