technologies into our lives. This include,
1. INTERPOL.
2. UNAFEI.
3. EUROPOL.
4. UNODC.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
