ICRC acting as a neutral intermediary

On Friday, 3 October 2003, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), acting as a neutral intermediary, facilitated the transfer of one Azerbaijani military serviceman and handed him over to the Azerbaijani authorities concerned.

The operation took place between Barda and Agdam regions with the full cooperation of all sides. ICRC delegates had visited the Azerbaijani military serviceman, who expressed his wish to be handed over to the Azerbaijani authorities.

In accordance with its mandate, the ICRC has provided its assistance in organizing such operations in the region since 1992 and stands ready to support any similar operation in the future.

ICRC conducts training seminars for Internal troops and Police officers

Two five-day seminars for 15 officers of the Internal troops and 15 officers of the National police forces, organized by the Delegation of the ICRC in Azerbaijan in cooperation with the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Azerbaijan, took place on 27-31 October 2003 in Baku. The ICRC expects that this event gives a good opportunity for the Internal troops and Police officers from education, training and operational departments to develop their knowledge of the rules and principles of International Humanitarian Law and International Human Rights Law as well as the ICRC and its activities. The seminars, run by ICRC armed and police forces experts, also dealt with such topics as conduct of hostilities, commander's responsibility, law enforcement, maintaining public order, and vulnerable groups in society, with particular emphasis on women and juveniles.
