Interpol Procedures in Palestine — Guide from Cosmos Legal Law Office

1. What is Interpol and How Does it Operate in Palestine?

Interpol (International Criminal Police Organization) is an international organization focused on combating cross-border crime and tracking criminals, with over 195 member countries.

Due to its political status, Palestine participates in Interpol in a limited capacity. However, within the framework of international law and judicial cooperation, Palestinian authorities coordinate Interpol procedures through authorized representatives and intermediary countries such as Turkey.

Cosmos Legal Law Office provides legal counsel and official representation for clients involved in Interpol processes in Palestine, ensuring the procedures are handled quickly and securely in coordination with Turkish and Palestinian authorities.

These processes must be conducted carefully, in accordance with both Palestinian law and international criminal law.
