"Interpol's Complex Role in Global Police Cooperation"

Interpol, the international police organization with 196 member countries, has been accused of assisting repressive regimes in tracking down political dissidents and innocent individuals through its red notices. While Interpol has successfully coordinated operations leading to the arrest of high-level criminals and the crackdown on human trafficking, it has faced criticism for not adequately vetting the information provided by member countries, leading to wrongful arrests and human rights abuses. Despite concerns, Interpol maintains its role as an information broker and refrains from policing member countries in terms of their human rights agenda, sparking calls for the organization to better police itself to prevent further abuses.
