Place of detention in Chechnya. In September 2004 the ICRC had to interrupt its visits to places of detention in Chechnya because its delegates could no longer work in accordance with the standard procedures it uses all over the world, which include unimpeded access to all places of detention and all detainees, private interviews with detainees and the possibility of repeating visits as frequently as deemed necessary. Negotiations with the Russian authorities have yet to yield satisfactory results, but dialogue is continuing.
