WAR CRIMES

Crimes

War crimes

We support investigation and prosecution of perpetrators of genocide, crimes
against humanity and war crimes.


THE ISSUES

Crimes such as genocides, crimes against humanity and war crimes are of serious
concern to the international community.

As well as the devastating effect on families concerned, these crimes have a
lasting, destabilizing impact on the safety and security of communities, nations
and regions for decades after they occur. 

Investigation and prosecution of these crimes are central to our common fight
against impunity.




OUR RESPONSE – OPERATIONAL SUPPORT

With our global networks and technical tools, we are in a unique position to
enhance efforts of law enforcement authorities, international criminal tribunals
and national prosecution services to investigate and seek justice for these
criminal acts.

We provide operational and investigative support to these partner organizations
and to war crimes and fugitive investigators in our member countries.

We promote and facilitate access to our services, technical tools, resources and
expertise in the area of serious international crimes. We also support our
member countries and partner organizations by sharing information and
coordinating international investigations.

Several of our projects on catching fugitives are related to war crimes. These
include Project BASIC, and the Rwandan Genocide Fugitives Project (see the
Fugitives section).

Our work in this field is defined in agreements with international courts and
tribunals, and by resolutions adopted by our governing bodies and those of the
United Nations.

 


PARTNERSHIPS



Strategic partnerships and specialist networks allow us to share expertise and
to maximize the impact of our initiatives on a national and international level.

We have been actively cooperating with the United Nations International
Tribunals and the International Criminal Court since 1994.  We also participate
in genocide networks such as the European Network for investigation and
prosecution of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes.

“INTERPOL, as a global player, can be a key partner in helping international
tribunals and national authorities in having fugitives arrested.” Serge
Brammertz, Chief Prosecutor for the UN International Residual Mechanism for
Criminal Tribunals

These partnerships allow us to leverage legal evolutions and adapt our
capacities accordingly  – for instance in the area of cultural heritage crime or
in retrieving evidence from mobile devices and social media, including in
atrocities perpetrated by ISIL (Daesh).


AGREEMENTS AND RESOLUTIONS THAT SHAPE OUR ROLE IN FIGHTING WAR CRIMES

Our role in the area of serious international crimes has been clearly defined in
agreements signed over the years with international courts and tribunals. This
has been further strengthened by resolutions adopted by our governing bodies and
those of the United Nations.

 * Five of our General Assembly resolutions concern our cooperation with the
   International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), the
   International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR), the Special Court for
   Sierra Leone, the International Criminal Court. See AGN/63/RES/9 (1994),
   AGN/66/RES/10 (1997), AG-2003-RES-08 (2003) and AG-2004-RES-16 (2004), and
   AG-2009-RES-10 (2009).

 * 2004: The 73rd session of our General Assembly held in Cancun called for
   increased support "for the investigation and prosecution of genocide, war
   crimes and crimes against humanity". See Resolution AG-2004-RES-17.

 * 2007: The 19th African Regional Conference called for all National Central
   Bureaus to provide whatever assistance necessary to arrest the remaining
   fugitives wanted by the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda.

 * 2008: The 37th European Regional Conference called for National Central
   Bureaus to provide the widest possible assistance to locate and arrest the
   four remaining fugitives wanted by the International Criminal Tribunal for
   the former Yugoslavia.

 * 2009: The 4th International Expert Meeting on Genocide, War Crimes and Crimes
   Against Humanity, held in Oslo and attended by war crime units from many of
   our member countries, recommended that a central repository be created to
   facilitate sharing of information relative to serious international crimes
   investigations throughout the world.

 * 2010: The 79th session of our General Assembly held in Doha passed a
   resolution which further developed the manner in which we handle new requests
   for Red Notices related to genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes.
   See resolution AG-2010-RES-10.
