An ICRC Delegate in Ceylon

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  13 January 2010

Extract

Following the events in Ceylon, the International Committee of the Red Cross sent, from 27 April to 12 June 1971, its delegate, Mr. Roger Du Pasquier, who visited there hospitals and places of detention containing respectively the wounded and injured and persons under arrest.

As already stated in our issues of June and July, Mr. Du Pasquier travelled all over the island, accompanied by government officials and members of the National Red Cross Society, and made distributions of relief to detainees. He brought back an interesting record of his mission, in the form of travel jottings, which we give below.
