Taiwan Interpol Endorsement and Inclusion Act

This bill directs the U.S. Secretary of State to develop a strategy advocating for Taiwan’s full membership or observer status in Interpol, the international police organization. It requires the U.S. to actively seek support from Interpol member states and report to Congress on efforts to secure Taiwan’s participation. The bill aims to address Taiwan’s current lack of access to Interpol’s global crime-fighting communications system (I-24/7), which limits real-time sharing of criminal intelligence. This directly affects Taiwan’s ability to collaborate with international police on security threats and share information on criminal activities. The policy change focuses on U.S. diplomatic advocacy, not altering Taiwan’s legal status.
