Abstract
A description of the International Criminal Police Organization and its role in disaster
victim identification is provided along with a summary of the standards developed
and circulated to responders in INTERPOL member countries (188 throughout the world)
to insure evidence-based DVI practices. Following the INTERPOL-mediated DVI response
in 2005 to the SE Asia tsunami, many lessons learned have been recorded. Based on
these current standards, INTERPOL's approach to DVI reflects a modern approach and
philosophy.
