The International Cooperation in the Field of Criminal Investigation and Forensic Activities: Informative Support and Instruments

Abstract

This paper explores the various forms of international cooperation in the field of criminal investigation and forensic practice. It defines the roles of INTERPOL and the International Criminal Court in conducting investigations into international crimes, including those occurring during the Russian-Ukrainian war. It focuses on the international collaboration during forensic practice, the systematization of international forensic science institutions networks, and their competencies. International institutions play a crucial role in standardizing forensic methodologies and introducing advanced technologies and modern tools for conducting forensic examinations. Specifically, ENFSI serves a vital function in certifying and standardizing forensic laboratories and research for European forensic science organizations, optimizing the conduct of forensic examinations, and providing better forensic output.
