      • Secretary General of Interpol is the chief administrative officer and the highest official of the Interpol. It conducts administrative tasks at the General Secretariat and is responsible for the implementation of the decisions made by the General Assembly and executive committee.
      The post of Interpol's secretary general is proposed by the executive committee while the General Assembly is responsible for the appointment. It is generally appointed for a term of five years and may be re-appointed only once. Its role is principally regulated by the Articles 28–30. A secretary general is also responsible for policymaking under the General Secretariat's framework. It coordinates with the member states chiefs working in concerned department and organisations.


      History


      Secretary general was created in 1932 under the Article 5. Prior its inception, the organisation was headed by a secretary rather than a secretary general. Oskar Dressler became the first secretary of the Interpol and he was later appointed as secretary general after the post was created in 1932. Dressler served as a secretary general of the organisation from 1932 to 1946. Valdecy Urquiza of Brazil, appointed Jürgen Stock' successor by the Executive Committee on 25 June 2024, is the first non-European/American person to be appointed to lead the organization.
