Interpol pledges war on environmental crime

AFP – Interpol President Khoo Boon Hui addresses the opening of the 79th session of the Interpol General Assembly … .– Mon Nov 8, 3:28 pm ET

DOHA (AFP) – Interpol on Monday adopted a resolution unanimously pledging support to back the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) and to fight environmental crime.

"One couldn?t have asked for a better result," the secretary general of CITES, John Scanlon, said in gas-rich Qatar where the resolution was adopted.

"The endangered fauna and flora of the world cannot be safeguarded without you, without the police," he told the annual assembly of Interpol, which adopted the resolution.

"This sends a very strong message to those who seek to rob countries of their natural resources that the global law enforcement community recognises that it must work together, led by Interpol, to bring these environmental criminals to justice."

In its resolution, the global police organisation said environmental crime "is not restricted by borders and involves organised crime which engages in other crime types, including murder, corruption, fraud and theft."

He passed an Executive Order quite awhile back that gave Interpol free reign. Surrendering sovereignty with a stroke of a pen.

Hopefully. This country is unstable. Predictions would confound Hari Seldon at this point.

Oh Noooooooooooooo. Not Interpol!

Now what am I going to do with my Ivory Chess set, my Ebony Guitar Fretboards and my custom guitars made out of Gogomugumbo Wood from the Amazon? Not to mention my pillows stuffed with baby Bald Eagle Down and the bedspread made of baby Harp Seal skins.

Inspector Clouseau may be outside right now!!!

I better have a garage sale asap.

So, are all the do-gooders going to Mexico to stop all that "murder, corruption, fraud and theft."?

Didn't think so.
