The Director-General of the International Committee of the Red Cross, Pierre Krahenbuhl, emphasized yesterday, Friday, that the organization's visits to detention centers are a crucial part of its work. These visits allow the organization to assess the conditions of detainees and ensure their basic rights are respected. Red Cross representatives regularly visit detention centers worldwide to guarantee that individuals are treated humanely. "Our mission is to protect the dignity and lives of people affected by armed conflict and other situations of violence," stated Krahenbuhl. The organization calls on all parties to conflicts to adhere to international humanitarian law and to grant it access to detainees.
