What this bill would do
The Taiwan Interpol Endorsement and Inclusion Act directs the Secretary of State to create a strategy to help Taiwan get membership status in the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol). It establishes a U.S. policy to advocate for Taiwan's membership or observer status in Interpol and other appropriate international organizations. The bill requires the Secretary of State to instruct Interpol Washington to officially request membership for Taiwan. Additionally, the Secretary of State and Interpol Washington must provide reports to Congress regarding these strategies and the threats caused by Taiwan's current lack of access to Interpol data.

Who it would affect, and how
Potential Positive Impacts for People
-
Global Crime Fighting: Direct participation in Interpol is described as beneficial for all nations and their police authorities, as shared information is vital to peacekeeping efforts (Section 2(a)(6)).
-
Crisis Prevention and Response: Being inclusive of nations working together to combat criminal activity, such as international terrorism networks, allows police to coordinate and act swiftly, which is an essential element of crisis prevention (Section 2(a)(8)).
-
Real-Time Criminal Data: Membership would provide Taiwan access to the I-24/7 global police communications system, providing real-time information on criminals and global criminal activities (Section 2(a)(10)).
-
Closing Security Gaps: Obtaining membership would address the "huge void in the global crime-fighting efforts" caused by Taiwan's current inability to swiftly share information on criminals and suspicious activity, which currently leaves the world at risk (Section 2(a)(11)).
