UAE Elected Chair of INTERPOL's Key Governance Committee
In a significant boost to its global standing, the United Arab Emirates has been elected to chair INTERPOL's newly established Committee on Governance, a core advisory body responsible for overseeing the organisation's governance framework. Represented by the Ministry of Interior, the UAE secured this leadership role through a decisive vote at INTERPOL's headquarters in Lyon, France. Lieutenant Colonel Dana Humaid Al Marzouqi, Director General of the International Affairs Office at the Ministry, won 67% of the votes from member state representatives, highlighting strong international support for the UAE's role in global policing affairs. The Committee on Governance, officially formed as a standing committee during the 92nd INTERPOL General Assembly in Glasgow in late 2024, succeeds the former Working Group on Governance. It plays a pivotal role in reviewing the INTERPOL Statute, General Regulations, and related legal frameworks. The committee advises on amendments, interpretation, and other critical governance matters, ensuring the organisation remains effective, transparent, and aligned with its strategic goals. As the first country to chair this standing committee, the UAE will hold the position for a two-year term, leading discussions, shaping decisions, and reporting to both the General Assembly and the Executive Committee. The role also involves coordinating with member states to drive forward good governance practices across the organisation. Composed of legal and governance experts from across INTERPOL member states, the committee ensures inclusive and balanced representation in shaping INTERPOL's future. This appointment underscores the UAE's growing influence on the international stage and reaffirms its commitment to global cooperation, strategic partnerships, and the advancement of international security frameworks.
