Our work in Iran

In Iran, the ICRC promotes international humanitarian law and works with the authorities to address the consequences of the 1980–1988 Iran–Iraq war, particularly the missing people and the contamination by explosive remnants of war, such as mines. The ICRC also provides humanitarian aid to refugees and migrants to help them meet their essential needs, working closely with the Red Crescent Society of the Islamic Republic of Iran and other partners.

Our work with the Red Crescent Society of the Islamic Republic of Iran

The Iran delegation works closely with the Iranian Red Crescent to raise awareness of international humanitarian law and the principles that guide the work of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, such as with Iran’s national committee on international humanitarian law and the ministry of foreign affairs. Medical staff from the Iranian Red Crescent are regularly seconded to the ICRC for field assignments.
