ABOUT

Since its establishment in 1923, INTERPOL has continued to increase cooperation between international law enforcement organizations and combat global crime. This intergovernmental body works to prevent a range of crimes, from terrorism to illicit goods trafficking and cybercrime. INTERPOL has passed several resolutions to increase information transfer, create a database regarding criminal activity worldwide, and promote security. As crimes continue to evolve today, the investigations and training INTERPOL conducts have become critical across the globe.

Anika Prakash
Anika Prakash is an eighth grader at Evergreen Middle School and is so excited to serve as co-director on the INTERPOL committee! She was thrown into the Model UN world as a sixth grader when her teacher convinced her to attend EverMUN as a delegate and has only become more passionate about it. Anika loves the rewarding debate on global politics, the chaotic unmoderated caucuses, and the funny candy grams. Away from the committee room, Anika can be found reading fantasy novels while procrastinating her work, blasting Speak Now (Taylor’s Version), or trying to get better at the violin. She is obsessed with drinking chai and telling awesomesauce jokes. Anika is absolutely thrilled to debate and make tons of new memories with all the delegates at EverMUN 2024!
Aniketh Terala
Aniketh Terala is a sophomore at Eastlake High School and is elated to serve as co-director at INTERPOL in EVERMUN this year. His MUN journey began after his friends pestered him to join the MUN club at his school. After attending his first conference (with much convincing), he became enthralled by the intriguing debates and the satisfying resolutions brought to him by amazing staffers. From that point onwards, MUN was an inseparable part of his life. His favorite MUN memory was in APO-CAB where he managed to create a lizard-worshiping religion to save the world. Outside of MUN, you can find him learning about linguistics, new languages, feeding his video game addiction, or going on walks with his dog. Aniketh looks forward to seeing the engaging debates at EVERMUN 2024's INTERPOL.
