International principles (on the example of the UN and Interpol) of the activities of security sector components regarding the prevention and counteraction of transnational criminal offenses

Abstract

The role of the United Nations and Interpol in the system of countering transnational crime in the conditions of modern globalization is considered. The key significance of the UN Convention against Transnational Organized Crime as a basic instrument for establishing legal criteria for international offenses is determined. The structure and functional features of the activities of Interpol's National Central Bureaus, which provide operational communication between national law enforcement agencies and the General Secretariat, are analyzed. Attention is emphasized on Interpol's criminal registration system, in particular on the detailing of the main file cabinets of the General Secretariat and the classification of types of international search. The basic principles of international police cooperation are emphasized, among which the priority is adherence to national sovereignty and the apolitical nature of the organization. The transformation of Ukraine's interaction with Interpol in the conditions of full-scale aggression by the russian federation, which led to the intensification of information exchange and active use of the "iArms" database, is investigated. The strategic importance of Interpol's tools for the search of persons involved in war crimes, and the higher efficiency of interaction between states with shared democratic values, are highlighted.
