“For more than 100 years, Interpol has played a vital role in combating serious international crime, from terrorism to human trafficking. But the international police organisation, made up of 196 member countries, is now plagued by issues that undermine international co-operation among law enforcers and allow authoritarian states to weaponise its systems for their own ends. The recent appointment as secretary-general of Valdecy Urquiza, a Brazilian police commissioner, offers an opportunity for serious reform. Though his predecessor, Jürgen Stock, left Interpol in better shape than he found it, Mr Urquiza will need to go further to deal with its deep-rooted problems.”
Rhys specialises in international human rights law and has acted in numerous high-profile INTERPOL cases. In 2021, he co-authored Undue Influence: The UAE and INTERPOL, a landmark report examining possible interference in INTERPOL’s leadership elections. His work has recently featured on CBS 60 Minutes and Sky News’ Dirty Work podcast.
