Detainees, hostages, and prisoners of war must be protected from humiliation, exposure, and public curiosity.

Respecting their privacy is both a moral and legal duty. #IHL

We visit detainees to ensure that they are being treated humanely. This includes checking that they are being held in acceptable living conditions, can stay in touch with their families, and are being treated under the correct judicial processes. 👇🏽

"The scale of the suffering we witness is not inevitable. It is the direct result of dismissive interpretations of international humanitarian law.", Mirjana Spoljaric, ICRC President, shares 👇🏽

[Patricia Rey @PReyICRC]

We @ICRC will continue to fulfil the role assigned to us by the parties. This work is a fundamental humanitarian duty.
