Interpol can not grant observer standing to Taiwan in General Assembly, says its chief Jurgen Stock

Interpol can not grant observer standing to Taiwan throughout its ninetieth General Assembly starting on Tuesday, its Secretary General Jurgen Stock mentioned.

Taiwan has demanded the observer standing for its significant participation in Interpol in order to make sure that no gaps and loopholes exist within the world struggle in opposition to cross-border crime.

In response to a query, Stock mentioned, “In 1984, the Interpol General Assembly recognised the People’s Republic of China as the sole representation of China. As such Interpol recognises Taiwan is part of China and as China is a member of Interpol, Interpol cannot grant Taiwan observer status in General Assembly.” He mentioned preparations have been put in place after 1984 with a view to allow Interpol National Central Bureaus and China Taiwan police administration to alternate data by means of Interpol channels.

The Interpol General Assembly might be inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday throughout which chiefs of police and ministers from 195 international locations are more likely to take part.

Financial crimes, cyber crimes, on-line sexual exploitation of kids would be the key problems with the agenda.

Taiwan had sought India’s assist for its bid to take part meaningfully within the World Health Assembly, International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and Interpol, and many others.

“You see, this is not even political, but for humanitarian purpose. Let us start from here and build up the momentum for mutually beneficial cooperation,” Government Representative at Taipei Economic and Cultural Center in India Baushuan Ger had mentioned mentioned final month in an interview to PTI.

The consultant had mentioned Taiwan has been unable to take part within the UN system due to China.

“By deliberately conflating its ‘One China’ principle with the UN General Assembly Resolution 2758 — the resolution that determined who represents China in the organisation some 50 years ago — Beijing is misleading the world by spreading the fallacy that Taiwan is a part of the People’s Republic of China,” Ger had mentioned.
