STRONG PARTNERSHIP
Transnational crime cannot be tackled in isolation; police,
national administrations and international organizations
must all work together to combat the common threat posed
by criminals who knows no borders. INTERPOL has forged
strong partnerships with organizations in the public and
private sectors to share skills and knowledge and develop
joint initiatives. INTERPOL and the United Nations have
a long-standing relationship, and the two organizations
have collaborated on many projects and initiatives to fight
international crime.

REQUESTING A NOTICE
Only a UN Sanctions Committee can request that INTERPOL
publish a Special Notice. A request cannot come directly
from a member country or other entity.
When a Sanctions Committee wishes to have a Special
Notice published for a person or entity, it makes a formal
request to the INTERPOL General Secretariat. INTERPOL
reviews the information and only publishes it if it meets
all the Organizations legal requirements. For example, it
must not violate INTERPOLs Constitution, which forbids it
from undertaking any intervention or activities of a political,
military, religious or racial character.
There are presently some 350 valid Special Notices in
circulation. Extracts of the notices appear on INTERPOLs
public website.
Some Special Notice extracts on the website relate to
individuals who are confirmed or believed to be dead.Such
extracts remain online in order to give continuing effect to
sanctions imposed by the UN, for example with respect to
the freezing of assets.
