These collaborations occur formally, through the signing of co-operation agreements and adoption of international conventions, and more informally, through INTERPOL’s participation in international symposia, conferences and working groups, and vice versa.

The aims are to ensure that expertise and information are shared; that resources are not wasted or efforts duplicated; and that all organizations with a stake in the fight against international crime are able to exploit their comparative advantages most effectively.

INTERPOL has signed co-operation agreements with the United Nations – including related bodies such as UNESCO – the International Criminal Court and regional authorities such as the European Central Bank, Organization of African Unity and Arab Interior Ministers’ Council.
