Extract

The International Review has several times described the work done by the ICRC in rendering humanitarian assistance to victims of the 1971 events in the Asian sub-continent. That assistance was for civilians as well as for prisoners of war and civilian internees, and it was rendered in various ways. A detailed article in our April 1974 issue described the repatriation of 250,000 persons in the Asian sub-continent, with the co-operation of the ICRC.
