INTERPOL Secretary General Valdecy Urquiza said:
“In the face of increasingly complex transnational crime, strengthening INTERPOL’s governance structures is more important than ever.
“I look forward to working with the new - and continuing - members of the Executive Committee so that together we can listen and respond to the needs of our member countries as they confront current and emerging threats.”
The Executive Committee has 13 members comprising the President, three Vice-Presidents and nine Delegates. They are all from different countries and the geographical distribution is balanced.
All Executive Committee members retain their full-time positions and responsibilities within their own countries throughout their mandate, contributing to INTERPOL with their national experience and expertise.
