The particular architecture of catalysts and safeguards that provide a legal framework for identification will vary from country to country, and there is no unified blueprint. However, this section highlights some important areas and issues that should be addressed as part of an overall legal framework for identification (as enshrined in Principles 8, 9 and 10, see section II). Principles). A more detailed treatment of the legal and regulatory framework can be found in IDEEA. INTERPOL is an intergovernmental organization whose mission is to facilitate international police cooperation. It has a legal personality distinct from that of member countries and subject to international law. We ensure that the organization`s legal framework keeps pace with ongoing technological developments. Identification systems must be based on a foundation of trust and accountability between government agencies, individuals, international organizations and the private sector, both within countries and across borders. A cornerstone of this foundation is the laws, codes, regulations and practices that govern and support the identification system – that is, the «legal framework». Cooperation agreements define the legal basis for cooperation with our partners. The United Nations Convention against Corruption is the only universal, legally binding instrument to combat corruption. The Convention`s ambitious approach and the binding nature of many of its provisions make it a unique tool for developing a comprehensive response to a global problem. On the one hand, these instruments provide a solid legal and operational framework for States to strengthen their domestic legal systems, but on the other hand, they can become a source of confusion and contradiction if their relationship and the different context in which these instruments operate are not clear to national decision-makers.
For example, the Firearms Protocol deals with the illicit manufacturing of and trafficking in firearms from a criminal law perspective in order to take measures to combat the cross-border nature of the phenomenon and its links with organised crime. Other instruments, while covering similar issues, address the issue from a disarmament, trade or development perspective and place more emphasis on measures to reduce the accumulation, proliferation, diversion and misuse of firearms than on bringing offenders to justice. These differences, beyond linguistic nuances, reflect different, albeit complementary, approaches to the same problem. In some countries, legal frameworks and practices can already enable inclusive and reliable identification systems. However, in many other cases, important laws and regulations do not exist, are not enforced, do not comply with international law, or are older than the use of digital ID systems and trust services such as electronic signatures. An in-depth assessment (e.g. using IDEEA) during the planning phase will help identify areas where the legal framework may need to be changed or updated. Our name, emblem, logo and flag define INTERPOL`s identity and are protected by law. Various international and regional instruments are part of the international firearms legal system. While this plurality of instruments demonstrates the complex and multidimensional nature of firearms-related problems, they also illustrate the need for diverse and multidisciplinary approaches and the central role that firearms continue to play in the international agenda. Several basic texts constitute INTERPOL`s legal framework.

The Bamako Declaration on an African Common Position on the Illicit Proliferation, Trafficking and Trafficking of Small Arms and Light Weapons – Politically Binding (2000) The Convention covers five main areas: preventive measures, criminalization and prosecution, international cooperation, asset recovery, technical assistance and exchange of information.
