US Support for Taiwan's Interpol Membership: Boosting Global Crime Fighting.
This law mandates the U.S. government to develop a strategy to secure Taiwan's membership in Interpol (International Criminal Police Organization). Currently, Taiwan lacks access to critical real-time global criminal databases, creating a security gap in international efforts against crime and terrorism. The goal is to enhance global safety through comprehensive police information sharing, indirectly protecting U.S. and global citizens from international threats.
Key points
The U.S. commits to actively advocating for Taiwan's full membership in Interpol, using its voice and influence in international forums.
Including Taiwan in the global police communication system (I-24/7) aims to close a significant gap in sharing information about criminals and threats, which is vital for public safety.
The Secretary of State must submit a detailed strategy to Congress within 90 days of the law's enactment.
