 Does the ICLC take sides in a war? No, the opposite in fact. We don't get entangled in the politics and we certainly don't favor one side over the other. Being neutral means we can be trusted by all sides to act purely as humanitarians. We care for prisoners of war on both sides. We treat the wounded whoever they were fighting for. And being neutral means we can work on either side of a front line to bring food, water, and medicine. But our neutrality can be misunderstood, especially when the media is flooded with horrific images. It's natural to want to take a side. But for us, the most important thing is to be where we are needed. That depends on our humanitarian role being accepted by all. And behind closed doors, we never stop pushing for governments, fighters, and soldiers to stick to the laws of war which limits people's suffering. So, do we take sides? No, the only side we're on is the side of civilians, the sick, the wounded, the tainees, caught up in conflict and violence anywhere in the world. Want to learn more?
