Interpol conference
artdoc May=1993

The head of the Swiss Federal Police, Lutz Krauskopf, told the
European Conference of Interpol held in Berne, Switzerland in
April that the European branch of Interpol must be integrated
into the different other European data systems (Europol and the
Schengen Information system) to `fight against terrorism,
organised crime and extremism', to guarantee the best possible
exchange of information. Any act of `terrorism' or `political
extremism', said Raymond Kendall, general Secretary of Interpol,
is simply a crime and therefore a matter for Interpol. He gave
a rather bizarre example: `Think of a soldier in the war of
Bosnia who has raped fifty women. This not a political crime on
the background of a war, this is simply a criminal act'.
