THE INTERNATIONAL COMMITTEE OF THE RED CROSS IN...

This book critically examines the possible dilution of the neutrality principle of the
International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in internal armed conflicts. It begins with the
proposition that the intervention of ICRC in internal armed conflicts led to compromises in
neutrality  and questioned the autonomy and independence of the organization. The book also
argues that the field operations of the international humanitarian organizations during
internal armed conflicts are dependent on the authority exercised by the state in whose
territory the conflict persists. The ICRC¿s involvement in Sri Lanka and Sudan provides
empirical support to validate these propositions and arguments. The cases also show that for
the ICRC  it is hard to be neutral and impartial in situations of internal armed conflicts and
such conflicts present formidable challenges to maintain its organization autonomy as well. The
larger purpose of the book is to contribute to the policy re formulation of the international
humanitarian organizations in internal armed conflict  the most significant challenge in the
field at present.
