Global criminal networks are rapidly expanding by leveraging digital tools and decentralizing their operations. Experts stress that strong international cooperation is essential to effectively combat these threats. However, Taiwan’s exclusion from INTERPOL significantly complicates these efforts.
Without full participation in INTERPOL, Taiwan is unable to share or receive crucial information necessary for fighting crime on a global scale. The Australian Institute of International Affairs points out that this exclusion creates significant gaps in the international crime-fighting network. These vulnerabilities risk enabling criminals to exploit weaknesses and carry out illegal activities with less resistance.
As crime becomes increasingly interconnected worldwide, the involvement of every country is critical to maintaining security. Taiwan’s absence from this global network undermines a comprehensive response to:
- Cybercrime
- Drug trafficking
- Other serious offenses
Authorities emphasize that defeating global crime requires inclusive networks of cooperation that include all critical players. This ongoing issue presents major challenges for law enforcement agencies striving to keep the world safe in an increasingly digital and complex environment.
