In the province of Sindh, the ICRC provides support to First Aid training conducted by the Pakistan Red Crescent Society (PRCS) and hosts seminars on emergency response for medical doctors. It provides training in International Humanitarian Law (IHL) for the Pakistan Armed Forces and promotes IHL in civil society through educational institutions. It contributes to the training of the Police, teaching human right norms governing the use of force in law enforcement. It carries out prison visits, supporting the authorities' efforts to comply with international norms and standards and helps separated family members to restore and maintain contact with each other. When the devastating floods hit Sindh in 2010, the ICRC set up a logistic base in Karachi and launched a large-scale relief operation in northern Sindh in partnership with the PRCS. Throughout 2011, the ICRC continued to assist the population in their efforts to recover from the consequences of the 2010 floods and supported the response of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement in the areas affected by the floods in 2011. The ICRC adapts its presence in Pakistan Increasingly over the past year, the ICRC has been facing difficulties in accessing certain areas and populations. A number of issues related to the ICRC's operational procedures, the scope of its activities and set-up in the country have been raised.

  • January Was a Momentous Event
    EDITOR’S NOTE The last three months have been as significant as any in the recent history of our country. The year 2014 ended with the drawdown of US-NATO forces from Afghanistan with many opining that the ‘job’ was only half done or less. There are legitimate fears of instability in the region that could spill over to other parts of South Asia and Central Asia. India is naturally concerned that the situation does not take an ugly turn that will be of detriment to us. The internal and external pulls and pressures are many that encompass terrorism, trade, diplomacy and power politics. The situation merits continuous monitoring for some time to come. Some contingency planning will also be in order. The visit of President Obama in January was a momentous event. Apart from the fact that he was the first US president to be the chief guest at our Republic Day parade, the visit signalled that the strategic partnership was well on track. There was the very apparent bonhomie between the leaders of the two countries and the mutual understanding on a host of different issues, including the “vision document”, was clearly noted by our friends and possible adversaries. President Obama’s commitment to support our “Make in India” programme was very welcome and so was the desire for furtherance of the Defence Trade and Technology Initiative. However, the Americans, once again, were insistent on our signing the three “foundation pacts” viz the Logistics Support Agreement (LSA), Communication Interoperability and Security Memorandum Agreement (CISMOA) and Basic Exchange and Cooperation Agreement for Geo-spatial Cooperation (BECA).
