See also Liang, Hsihuey, The Rise of Modern Police and The European State System from Metternich to the Second World War 165 (1992)Google Scholar (quoting the 1898 Final Protocol; citing an Austrian archival source). For a contemporary example, see the Convention for the Suppression of Terrorist Bombings, GA Res. 52/164, annex (Dec. 15,1997), 37 ILM 249 (1998).

Treaty Doc. No. 101-4 (1989), 28 ILM 493 (1989).

4 Deflem notes that Interpol is much discussed but little understood, and that the writing about its history is often “either informed but uncritical or critical but uninformed” (p. 125). The sources that would be most useful for bringing this history more close to the present seem to be either published by Interpol itself, e.g., International Criminal Police Organization, Interpol: 75 Years Of International Police Co-Operation (1998)Google ScholarPubMed, or not in English, e.g., Greilsamer, Laurent, Interpol: Policiers Sans Frontieres (1997)Google Scholar.

5 In feet, the comment argues not against international law approaches, but against proposed efforts to achieve “unification” of various countries’ national criminal laws. Its author considered such efforts a waste of time, outside of limited areas such as extradition. Arthur, K.
