Interpol’s govt committee on Tuesday for the primary time elected a police officer from a creating nation to go the worldwide police company, Valdecy Urquiza from Brazil.
Urquiza, presently head of worldwide cooperation on the Brazilian federal police, will succeed Juergen Stock of Germany to guide Interpol from 2025 to 2030.
Urquiza acquired eight votes towards two for Britain’s candidate Stephen Kavanagh and one for Mubita Nawa from Zambia.
His election should be ratified by Interpol’s normal meeting in November, the Brazilian authorities mentioned in an announcement.
“This is recognition of Brazil’s neutrality,” Urquiza advised reporters after his election on the company’s headquarters in Lyon, France. “Interpol has much to gain from diversity and the experience of other countries,” he mentioned.
Interpol is the world’s largest police group with 196 member nations.
In its 100 years, Interpol has been run by males from simply 5 developed Western nations, 4 in Europe and the United States.
“The organization runs the risk of losing credibility and legitimacy if it isolates itself. What we need for Interpol’s success is plurality. We need all countries to feel included, for all regions to be served,” Urquiza advised Reuters in an interview in February.
