Vision: To foster an international partnership using
DNA in law enforcement
Interpol recognises the value of DNA profiling and is
supporting this new investigative tool. Following the acceptance of Resolution
No. 8 of the 67th General Assembly (Cairo, 1998) to advance international
co-operation on the use of DNA in criminal investigations, the Interpol
DNA Unit has been established. The objective of this unit is to:
provide strategic and technical support to enhance
member states' DNA profiling capacity and promote widespread use in
the international law enforcement environment.
The DNA Unit has designed the following projects to assist
member states and encourage DNA profile comparison across international
borders:

Interpol DNA Database and Gateway
Data matching capacity available to all member states using DNA profiling in law enforcement that is in accordance with their national legislation. DNA profiles can be stored and searched across international borders using the Interpol Standard Set Of Loci (ISSOL).
