Respect for International Humanitarian Law: ICRC Report on its Activities

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  13 January 2010

Extract

After Bucharest in 1977 and Manila in 1981, this is the third time I have the honour of addressing you in my capacity as President of the ICRC. As it is also the last time, I would like to ask for your patience because, after ten years at the head of the ICRC, I wish to avail myself of this final opportunity—and do so without having constantly to glance at my watch—to take stock with you and, together, look to the future.

1 This draft resolution was submitted to the Commission of International Humanitarian Law along with other draft resolutions and amendments introduced by several delegations. All the drafts were examined by a working group set up for this purpose. The working group tabled a draft resolution which was adopted by consensus first by the Commission and then by the Conference (Resolution 1) during its plenary meeting of 31 October 1986 (See International Review of the Red Cross, 1112 1986, pp. 327329 and 340342).Google Scholar
