The ICRC opened a permanent delegation in Zaire, now the Democratic Republic of the Congo, in 1978. It meets the emergency needs of conflict-affected IDPs and residents, provides them with the means to become self-sufficient and helps ensure that the wounded and sick receive adequate care, including psychological support for victims of sexual violence. It visits detainees, helps restore contact between separated relatives (reuniting children with their families where appropriate and possible) and supports the National Society’s development. It also promotes respect for IHL and international human rights law by the authorities in their treatment of civilians and detainees.
