The information contained in these lists is regularly forwarded to the authorities at Pyong­ yang. A first list of about fifty American prisoners of war in North Korean hands reached Geneva and was transmitted to Washington. At the end of July the Delegate of the Committee in South Korea visited two camps for North Korean prisoners of war in South Korean and American custody respectively. The Committee pursued its endeavours to obtain the North Korean Government's approval for the appointment of an ICRC Delegate in that area.

  • The International Committee of the Red Cross and Chemical Warfare in the Italo-Ethiopian War 1935-1936
    Force versus law: The International Committee of the Red Cross and chemical warfare in the Italo-Ethiopian war 1935-1936 by Rainer Baudendistel "Caritas inter arma" is no longer possible: this is all-out war, pure and simple, with no distinction made between the national army and the civilian population, and it is inevitable that the poor Red Cross is drowning in the flood. Sidney H. Brown, ICRC delegate, 25 March 19361 M"e Odier: (...) How can we reconcile the obligation to remain silent with the dictates of human conscience? That is the problem. President: We kept silent because we did not know the truth. Minutes of ICRC meeting, 3 July 19362 Rainer Baudendistel has a degree in philosophy and history from the University of Geneva and an M.A. in international relations from the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy. An experienced ICRC delegate, the author has spent a total of six years in Ethiopia and Eritrea. 1 "lln'y a plus de possibility de "caritas inter arma", c'est la guerre a outrance pure et simple, sans distinction aucune entre I 'armee nationale et la population civile, et quant a lapauvre Croix-Rouge, il est Men naturel qu'elle soit engloutie dans lesflots. " Archives of the International Committee of the Red Cross, Geneva (hereafter "ICRC Archives"), Rapports des delegues. No. 13, 25 March 1936. - Note: all translations of original French extracts from ICRC Archives by the author. 2 "M"e Odier: (...) Comment concilier le devoir du silence et celui d'exprimer les avis de la conscience humaine? Tel est le probleme.

  • Mr. CARL J. BURCKHARDT RECEIVES the GOLD MEDAL of the ICRC
    INTERNATIONAL COMMITTEE Mr. CARL J. BURCKHARDT RECEIVES THE GOLD MEDAL OF THE ICRC The International Committee has awarded its Gold Medal to Mr. Carl J. Burckhardt on the occasion of his 70th birthday in recognition of the eminent services which he has rendered. This high honour had only previously been bestowed upon Mr. Max Huber, Mr. Jacques Chenevie.re and Miss Lucie Odier. A member of the ICRC for nearly thirty years and then President for a brief period, Mr. Burckhardt has continued to make available to the Committee advice of rare competence and judgment inspired by high aims and a broad view of events. The Gold Medal was handed to him on October 12, 1961, during a ceremony which gathered together numerous members of the Committee, the directors and heads of the Organization's depart- ments, as well as several people who had the privilege of working closely with Mr. Burckhardt1. The President of the ICRC, Mr. Boissier, spoke of the great merits of this man of action, thinker and writer, and as a friend of his for more than fifty years, recalled some childhood memories and recounted a moving episode which took place when both of them were about fifteen years old. ... Once we met an old beggar who asked us for alms. Without hesitation Carl Burckhardt emptied his purse into his hand and when I expressed astonishment at this generosity, which was depriving him of cakes, he replied " that will give more pleasure to him than to me ". I have not forgotten this small event, in a life which has included so many other events, both big and small; because when Carl Burckhardt has come face to face with men in their suffering, he always has had the same instinctive reaction: to give, because " that will give more pleasure to him than to me ".
