Introduction
INTERPOL - International Criminal Police Organization, the world’s largest international police organization, was established in 1923, in Vienna, Austria. It facilitates cross-border police co-operation, and supports and assists all organizations, authorities and services whose mission is to prevent or combat international crime. It has 190 member countries including Nepal and four official Languages: English, French, Spanish & Arabic. The headquarter of INTERPOL is in Lyon, France since 1989.

INTERPOL provides investigative resources to its member countries and their law enforcement officials. These resources include a secure communications network and databases containing information supplied by its member countries on wanted persons, persons with criminal histories, persons involved in criminal activity, missing persons, stolen and lost passports and travel documents, stolen vehicles, and other law enforcement information.

INTERPOL actions are taken within the limits of existing laws in different countries and in the spirit of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. INTERPOL's Constitution prohibits ‘any intervention or activities' of a political, military, religious or racial character.
