Answer:
INTERPOL has enjoyed a special role – that of Permanent Observer at the United Nations - since 1996. First established by General Assembly Resolution 51/1, this status was formalized in a Cooperation Agreement in 1997.
INTERPOL-UN cooperation has since been enshrined in both UN General Assembly and Security Council (UNSC) resolutions, especially as concerns terrorism and human trafficking. We also combine our capabilities in the form of Special Notices issued to alert law enforcement to individuals and entities subject to UNSC sanctions.
