Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has joined the Interpol’s International Child Sexual Exploitation (ICSE) initiative. It will allow CBI to collaborate with investigators in other countries for detecting child sex abuse online and identifying abusers, victims, and crime scenes from audio-visual clips using specialised software.
About International Child Sexual Exploitation (ICSE)
- India is the 68th country to have access to this database and software.
- On average, the database helps identify seven child victims everyday globally.
- The ICSE database uses video and image comparison to analyse Child Sex Exploitation Material (CSEM) and make connections between victims, abusers and places.
- The investigators attempt to identify locations of markers visible in a piece of media. This can be through the signage nearby, the kind of artwork, photos on a wall, etc.
- The detectives in all 68 countries of the grouping can further exchange information across the world.
About Interpol
- Interpol is the world’s largest international police organisation with 195 member countries.
- It is headquartered in Lyon, France.
- Each member country hosts an Interpol National Central Bureau that connects their national law enforcement to it and in India, the CBI is that nodal agency.
