 The idea of international cooperation among police agencies and other
facets of the criminal justice system has taken on heightened
significance.

 Criminals and criminal enterprises do not restrict their activities to


existing geopolitical boundaries.

 This circumstance has only accelerated in recent decades with both the
softening of some regional borders and the acceleration of computing
technologies into our lives. This include,

1. INTERPOL.
2. UNAFEI.
3. EUROPOL.
4. UNODC.
5. UNICEF.
6. IPA.
 INTERPOL is the world’s largest international police organization
operating world-wide with 186 member countries. Its headquarters, the
General Secretariat, are located in Lyon, France.

 In addition to a representative office at United Nations Headquarters in


New York, INTERPOL currently operates six Sub-regional bureaus
staffed by law enforcement representatives originating from the region.

 The mandate and the primary task of INTERPOL is to support police


and law enforcement agencies in its 186 member countries in their
efforts to prevent crime and conduct criminal investigations as
efficiently and effectively as possible.

 Specifically, INTERPOL facilitates cross border police cooperation and,


as appropriate, supports governmental and intergovernmental
organizations, authorities and services whose mission is to prevent or
combat crime.
1. Secure global police communications services.
2. Global databases and data services: Once police have the capability to
communicate internationally, they need access to information which can assist
investigations or help prevent crime.
3. Operational police support services INTERPOL provides specific crime – related
support through its third core function, the provision of operational police
support services. INTERPOL has six priority crime areas: drugs and organized
crime, financial and high-tech crime, fugitives, public safety and terrorism,
trafficking in human beings (including crimes against children), and corruption.
Other crime areas of concern include, inter alia, environmental and intellectual
property crime.
4. Training and Development INTERPOL enhances the capacity of member
countries to effectively combat serious transnational crime and terrorism,
through the provision of (a) focused police training initiatives and of (b) on-
demand advice, guidance and support in building dedicated crime-fighting
components with national police forces.
5. Ensuring border security and preventing border security.
6. Detecting wanted person.
7. Verify the authenticity of travel documents.
8. Bringing information to the border.
 The United Nations Asia and Far East Institute for the Prevention of Crime and
the Treatment of Offenders (UNAFEI) is a United Nations regional institute,
established in 1962 by agreement between the United Nations and the
Government of Japan, with the aim of promoting the sound development of
criminal justice systems and mutual cooperation in Asia and the Pacific
Region.

 UNAFEI annually organizes two international training courses and one


international seminar. Participants represent mainly Asia and the Pacific
Region, but some come from other regions of the world such as Africa and
Latin America.

 This program contributes significantly to the training of personnel in criminal


justice, and to providing ideas and knowledge for effective measures to combat
crime in developing nations.

 Since UNAFEI is still affiliated with the United Nations, it submits an annual
report to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, and the Director of
UNAFEI is assigned in consultation with the United Nations.
 Europol is the European Union’s law enforcement agency. EUROPOL main goal is to
achieve a safer Europe for the benefit of all the EU citizens.

 Headquartered in The Hague, the Netherlands, we support the 27 EU Member States in


their fight against terrorism, cybercrime and other serious and organized forms of crime.
We also work with many non-EU partner states and international organizations.

 Europol is headed by an Executive Director, who is Europol’s legal representative and is


appointed by the Council of the European Union. Europol’s current Executive Director
is Catherine De Bolle, who assumed the post in May 2018.

 Europol has its origins in TREVI, a forum for security cooperation created
amongst European Community interior and justice ministers in 1976. At first, TREVI
focused on international terrorism, but soon started to cover other areas of cross-border
crime within the Community.

 At the European Summit in Luxembourg on 28–29 June 1991, German


Chancellor Helmut Kohl called for the creation of a European police agency similar to
the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)—thus sowing the seeds of police co-operation
across Europe. At the Summit, the European Council agreed to establish "a Central
European Criminal Investigations Office (Europol) by 31 December 1993 the latest."
 On 1 January 2010 Europol became a full EU agency. On 1 May 2017, Europol
became officially the European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Cooperation,
after its new Regulation entered into force. The biggest security threats come
from: terrorism; international drug trafficking and money laundering; organized
fraud; the counterfeiting of Euros; trafficking in human beings.

 Operational activities These activities focus on:


 illicit drugs and trafficking in human beings
 facilitated illegal immigration
 cybercrime
 intellectual property crime
 cigarette smuggling
 Euro counterfeiting
 money laundering and asset tracing
 mobile organized-crime groups
 outlawing motorcycle gangs
 terrorism
 Europol set up the European Cybercrime Centre (EC3) in
2013 to strengthen the law enforcement response to
cybercrime in the EU and thus to help protect European
citizens, businesses and governments from online crime.

 Since its establishment, EC3 has made a significant


contribution to the fight against cybercrime.

 It has been involved in tens of high-profile operations and


hundreds on-the-spot operational-support deployments
resulting in hundreds of arrests, and has analyzed
hundreds of thousands of files , the vast majority of which
have proven to be malicious.
 UNODC is a global leader in addressing the problem of illicit drug use
and transnational crime, and is mandated to assist Member States in
their struggle against illicit drugs, crime and terrorism.

 UNODC has an important role in assisting States Parties to the


international conventions in the implementation of their obligations
under the international drug control treaties (the Single Convention on
Narcotic Drugs of 1961 (as amended in 1972), the Convention on
Psychotropic Substances of 1971, and the United Nations Convention
against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances of
1988), the UN Convention against Transnational Organized Crime and its
Protocols and the UN Convention Against Corruption, as well as
international anti-terrorism instruments.

 UNODC is focused on three interdependent domains: 1) illicit trafficking


and border management; 2) criminal justice and legal reforms; 3) drug
demand reduction, prevention and treatment ; and two additional cross
cutting themes: e-Learning; and research and analysis.
 UNODC has been working in Pakistan for over 35
years, in close collaboration with the Government of
Pakistan (GOP) and civil society, with the purpose of
addressing development challenges, specifically
related to drugs and crime.

 Together with the GOP, the UNODC has developed its


second Country Program in order to ensure that its
support is clearly directed towards strategic priorities
and meets Pakistan's needs.
 UNICEF is the successor of the International Children’s
Emergency Fund (ICEF), created in 1946 by the U.N. Relief
Rehabilitation Administration to provide immediate relief to
children and mothers affected by World War II.

 The same year, the U.N. General Assembly established the United
Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF) to
further institutionalize post-war relief work. In 1950, UNICEF's
mandate was extended to address the long-term needs of children
and women, particularly in developing countries.

 UNICEF believes that nurturing and caring for children are the
cornerstones of human progress. UNICEF was created with this
purpose in mind – to work with others to overcome the obstacles
that poverty, violence, disease and discrimination place in a child’s
path. The agency believes that together, we can advance the cause
of humanity.
 UNICEF advocates for measures to give children the best start in life, because proper
care at the youngest age forms the strongest foundation for a person’s future.

 UNICEF promotes girls’ education – ensuring that they complete primary education
as a minimum – because it benefits all children, both girls and boys. Girls who are
educated grow up to become better thinkers, better citizens, and better parents to
their own children.

 UNICEF acts so that all children are immunized against common childhood diseases,
and are well nourished, because it is wrong for a child to suffer or die from a
preventable illness.

 Pakistan was the sixth country in the world to sign and ratify the Convention on the
Rights of the Child, less than one year after it was adopted by the United Nations
General Assembly in 1989. However, children and adolescents living in Pakistan still
face acute challenges.

 UNICEF supports the Government of Pakistan to accelerate progress for children,


work to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and help children realize
their rights under the Convention on the Rights of Children. This will be made
through, among others things, strong partnerships with provincial authorities,
teachers and health professionals, frontline workers and social mobilisers,
communities and families, and of course the children and adolescents themselves.
 The International Police Association (IPA) is the largest organization
for police officers in the world, founded by British sergeant Arthur
Troop (1914–2000).

 The Association has 64 national Sections and over 430,000 members


and associate members.

 The International Police Association was founded on 1 January 1950


under the Esperanto motto on its emblem, Servo per Amikeco (Service
through Friendship), to create friendly links and encourage
cooperation between individual police officers around the world.

 It organizes participation in international, national and local


professional, cultural and social events and offers opportunities for
professional development in its educational facility, IBZ Gimborn
(Germany) www.ibz-gimborn.de, with funding for individual members
through the Arthur Troop Scholarship.
 It also offers exchange of best practice and topics faced by the police in
today’s world by attending World Seminars, in particular for young police
officers and professional Police exchange programs, emergency aid for
disasters, coordinated by the International Social Commission and
accommodation opportunities in more than 70 IPA Houses established in
more than 20 countries.

 The IPA organizes the International Youth Gatherings for children of IPA
members aged 16-17 in a different country each year. The IPA has 5
international commissions, each chaired by a member of the Permanent
Executive Board and with members from various countries around the
world.

 The External Relations Commission provides liaison officers at various


UN, European and American organizations.

 The International Cultural Commission looks after the cultural events


and competitions, runs the International Youth Gathering amongst its
tasks.
