Laws combating terrorism discussed Published: Feb. 1, 2008 at 5:16 PM LYON, France, Feb. 1 (UPI) -- Top law enforcement officials are meeting at Interpol in France to discuss laws that might better support efforts to combat transnational crime and terrorism. During a two-day symposium ending Saturday, leading legal and academic experts as well as law enforcement officials will discuss ways to develop laws and doctrines that better support international police cooperation on issues of transnational crime and terrorism. "This conference provides us with a unique opportunity to look at the philosophy of public international law that underlies international police cooperation, and to reflect on the still-to-be-written theory of the international legal principles that drive our efforts to combat transnational crime and terrorism," Interpol Secretary General Ronald Noble said in a statement. "The continuing challenge for Interpol is to strike the right balance between formal legal rules and the practical needs of police and law enforcement around the world. There is still much more to do and you can help us to devise instruments and mechanisms that are at the same time legally robust and relevant to modern-day police needs," he added. Officials say issues regarding interstate relations and the powers and responsibilities of international organizations are at the top of the meeting's agenda. Additionally topics will include personal data processing, immunity, refugees and "legal channels open to people who are subjects of international police investigations," the release said.
