WHAT WE DO

The ICRC is an independent, neutral organization providing humanitarian protection and assistance for victims of armed conflict and other situations of violence.

The ICRC Delegates are deployed all over the world to contribute to the organization’s mandate. Their duties focus either on protection-related activities or are more polyvalent in nature. The ICRC fosters an integrative approach and the Delegates work in close collaboration with other ICRC departments (e.g. Health, Economic Security, Communication, etc ) to reach their objectives.
