Abstract

Out of the many fascinating issues concerning the International Criminal Police Organization—INTERPOL (INTERPOL), I would like to concentrate on three main themes and topics. The first one has to do with the status of INTERPOL and the potential impact of a multilateral privileges and immunities treaty on such status. The second concerns the challenges arising from the case of Waite and Kennedy v. Germany 1 ( Waite and Kennedy ), and whatever followed in the “shadow of Waite and Kennedy ,” 2 not only for INTERPOL, but for international organizations more generally. The third theme addresses the responses to Waite and Kennedy , and particularly the availability of suitable alternative dispute settlement mechanisms—an issue that is currently discussed in the International Law Commission. 3
