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.
