Agenda item 156
Observer Status for the International Criminal Police Organization-Interpol in the General Assembly
Draft resolution (A/51/L.1)
The President
I call on the representative of Sweden to introduce the draft resolution contained in document A/51/L.1.
Mr. Osvald (Sweden)
It is an honour for me to introduce, on behalf of the 43 co-sponsors, the draft resolution entitled "Observer Status for the International Criminal Police Organization-Interpol in the General Assembly", contained in document A/51/L.1. I should mention that in that document the Islamic Republic of Iran was inadvertently omitted as an original co-sponsor of the draft. The following countries have also informed us that they wish to join the list of sponsors: Australia, Belgium, Brunei Darussalam, Canada, Croatia, Georgia, Hungary, Ireland, Israel, Lithuania, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Republic of Moldova, Romania, The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Turkey, Ukraine and Zimbabwe.
Combating and preventing international crime is a crucial challenge to the international community. Unless we cooperate at a global level, we will not succeed in this endeavour. It is therefore essential to do what we can to facilitate and promote cooperation and coordination between the different organs involved in combating crime with transnational ramifications.
The work of Interpol in this area is well known and widely recognized. As many as 176 States are currently represented in Interpol, making it a unique global forum for crime prevention. Interpol has cooperated with the United Nations for years on a wide-ranging set of issues related to crime prevention and law enforcement. Last year, at the Interpol General Assembly in Beijing, the members of Interpol unanimously adopted a resolution expressing Interpol's desire to obtain observer status with the United Nations General Assembly in order to provide for still-closer cooperation between the organizations.
Against this background, my delegation, together with other delegations from all the different regional groups, has submitted the draft resolution before us. We believe that granting Interpol observer status with the General Assembly will contribute greatly to efforts to combat international crime. Interpol is an intergovernmental organization that meets the criteria for the granting of observer status with the General Assembly laid down in decision 49/426. The operative part of the draft resolution invites the International Criminal Police Organization-Interpol to participate in the sessions and work of the General Assembly in the capacity of observer, and requests the Secretary-General to take the necessary action to implement the resolution. It is our hope that the General Assembly will adopt the draft resolution by consensus.
The President
The Assembly will now take a decision on draft resolution A/51/L.1.
May I take it that the Assembly decides to adopt draft resolution A/51/L.1?
The President
