Ce que nous faisons

Depuis 1863, le Comité international de la Croix-Rouge (CICR) œuvre à la préservation de la dignité humaine et à l’allègement des souffrances causées par la guerre et la violence armée.

En collaboration avec nos partenaires de la Croix-Rouge et du Croissant-Rouge à travers le monde, nous mettons tout en œuvre pour acheminer une aide vitale, réunir les familles et localiser les personnes disparues – en venant en aide à ceux qui en ont le plus besoin, quels qu’ils soient et quel que soit le camp dans lequel ils se trouvent.

Nous dialoguons avec les autorités et les forces armées de tous bords, souvent en toute confidentialité, pour obtenir l’accès aux détenus afin d’améliorer leurs conditions de vie et pour exhorter au respect du droit international humanitaire afin de protéger les non-combattants, y compris contre les menaces numériques.
