Regional delegation in Niamey - ICRC Annual Report

31-12-2010 Annual Report

The ICRC has been continually present in the region since 1982, opening its Niamey regional delegation in 2010 in response to the consequences of fighting between govern-ment forces and various armed groups in northern Mali and Niger. It seeks to protect and assist people affected by violence and adverse climatic conditions, and visits detainees of ICRC concern, providing them with material aid where necessary. It also focuses on promoting IHL among the armed forces and other bearers of weapons and on encouraging its implementation by the authorities throughout the region. It works closely with the region’s National Societies and helps them develop their operational capacities.
