1996年，国际刑警组织成为联合国的常驻观察员，数月后，双方签署了第一项合作协定。2004年，国际刑警组织在纽约设立了驻联合国特别代表办事处，三年前，国际刑警组织在维也纳设立了第二个驻联合国办事处——差不多100年前，刑警组织就是在维也纳成立的。
In 1996, INTERPOL became a Permanent Observer to the United Nations, months before the signature of their first Cooperation Agreement. In 2004, the INTERPOL Special Representative Office to the UN in New York was established, followed just three years ago by a second office to the UN in Vienna — the same city where INTERPOL was founded in 1923, almost 100 years ago.
