The Interpol‘s 84th general assembly that concluded its work on Thursday in Kigali endorsed the Interpol 2020 roadmap that will see the international police body work with its members to curb transnational crimes.
Enshrined in this road map is the need for Interpol to work closely with its members to build up a clear set of outcomes for toughening the body’s policing capabilities supported by strong governance mechanisms.
“INTERPOL 2020 provides the fundamental pillar for the evolution of the organization,” Mireille Ballestrazzi Interpol President said during the four day assembly that saw over 700 delegates from 145 countries attending.
She adds, “I encourage all member countries to contribute towards this initiative which will help build the INTERPOL of the future,” said Ballestrazzi.
The Interpol 2020 has in it the development of strategic partnerships which is seen as an important aspect as far as the body’s efforts to collaborate with the private sector is concerned.
Secretary General Jürgen Stock said to remain effective in addressing current and emerging security threats, it was essential to strengthen all areas of the Organization’s activities, both internal and external.
“If INTERPOL is to remain at the forefront of global policing efforts, it is essential that our systems are robust and responsive to the challenges we will face in the future,” he said.
During the meeting, delegates also approved the recommendation for the body to share its baseline projects with private entities.
This will mean that the Industry and network administrators will be strengthened further in order to help them to recognize, report and remove child abuse material from their networks.
