The General Assembly is composed of delegates appointed by the governments
of Member States. As INTERPOL's
supreme governing body, it meets once a year and takes all the major decisions
affecting general policy, the resources needed for international co-operation,
working methods, finances and programmes of activities. It also elects the Organization's
Executive Committee. Generally speaking, the Assembly takes decisions by a simple
majority in the form of resolutions. Each Member State represented has one vote.
