Promoting international humanitarian law and representing the International Committee of the Red Cross in its relations with the EU, NATO and Belgium.
The Brussels delegation covers Belgium, the EU, NATO and other European armed forces. The delegation engages decision makers on issues related to protecting the access of neutral and impartial humanitarian organizations and respect for international humanitarian law (IHL). The delegation’s aim is to work collaboratively with these stakeholders in order to reduce the impact of armed conflict and violence on affected communities around the world.
The Brussels delegation works collaboratively with the Belgian Red Cross (Croix-Rouge de Belgique/Rode Kruis Vlaanderen) in responding to current conflict-related emergencies and supporting countries recovering from situations of armed conflict. We also work together on promoting IHL among Belgian government authorities, academics and the general public
