International Conference of Rome for the Social Defense Against Anarchists was held between November 24 and December 21 , 1898 following the assaination of Empress Elisabeth Of Austria by Luigi Lucheni on the promenade of Lake Geneva on September 10 , 1898 . 54 delegates attended from 21 different countries. Every participating country agreed to set up special organisations for the surveillance of those suspected of anarchism defined as "as any act that used violent means to destroy the organization of society". They also organised an international system of exchange among these national agencies, using the ‘portrait parlé’ method of criminal identification. This was developed from the bertillonage system invented by Alphonse Bertillon and involved the classification of criminal suspects on the basis of numerically expressed measurements of parts of their head and body.
