Our work in Bangladesh
The ICRC in Bangladesh supports the integration of IHL into domestic law and into the training and practices of armed actors, including the army and peacekeeping forces. We seek to address the humanitarian consequences of displacement for people from Myanmar hosted in Cox’s Bazar District, as well as of violence affecting tribal minorities in the Chittagong Hill Tracts. Our focus on the most vulnerable people includes assistance to people with disabilities. We work alongside our long-standing partner, the Bangladesh Red Crescent Society (BDRCS), to protect and support vulnerable people, notably by strengthening the BDRCS’s capacity to deliver emergency first aid, re-establish family links where contacts between relatives have been interrupted, trace and reunite missing people with their families, and operate safely in situations of violence.
