Taiwan’s ongoing exclusion from INTERPOL raises critical challenges in fighting international crime. Criminal networks worldwide are growing faster, using digital tools and decentralizing to avoid detection. Experts emphasize that defeating these networks requires true global collaboration.
Australia’s Institute of International Affairs highlights the following concerns regarding Taiwan’s absence:
- Global crime-fighting efforts might lose efficiency.
- Crucial intelligence sharing is hindered.
INTERPOL serves as a vital platform where countries exchange information to track and catch criminals. However, without Taiwan’s participation, the collective response to transnational threats such as:
- Cybercrime
- Drug trafficking
- Human smuggling
is significantly limited.
Many analysts warn that to combat increasingly sophisticated criminal enterprises, all affected regions, including Taiwan, need to be included. The debate over Taiwan’s status at INTERPOL is not merely political—it directly impacts the safety and security of millions worldwide.
This situation calls for innovative diplomatic efforts to integrate Taiwan into the international policing framework, ensuring no gap exists in global crime prevention. The story highlights the urgent need for truly global responses in an era where crime networks do not respect borders.
