Si vis pacem, impera bellum”
This article examines the links between the concept of peace and international humanitarian law (IHL). It takes a closer look at how the originator of IHL, the International Committee of the Red Cross, justified the existence of this body of law, which was supposed to regulate war, in the face of those who wanted to see war abolished once and for all. The article also questions the attitude of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement…
A season in hell”
How can humanitarians carry out their work during a genocide? Between April and June of 1994, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) faced that very question. After bloodshed broke out in Rwanda, the ICRC was the only remaining humanitarian organization in the country and continued its aid work while surrounded by brutal violence. Based on previously published materials, 1 this article examines the strategies that enabled the ICRC to…
III.1. Savoir et se taire ? Le Comité international de la Croix-Rouge et la Shoah
As early as the end of WWII, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) was condemned for its response to the Holocaust. The world’s oldest humanitarian institution was primarily criticised for its silence. The ICRC did not publicly denounce the deportation of Jewish civilians to concentration and extermination camps. Because the organisation appeared to know what was happening in these places, its silence was all the more condemnable. K…
To inform or govern? 150 years of the International Review of the Red Cross , 1869–2019
The International Review of the Red Cross (formerly the Bulletin Internationale des Sociétés de Secours aux Militaires Blessés ) is celebrating its 150th anniversary in 2019, making it the oldest of the general publications produced by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). Originally created as a communication tool for the entire International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, the Review rapidly changed its course to become firs…
How warfare has evolved – a humanitarian organization's perception
To understand how war is perceived and how it has evolved over time, we must first choose the right agent to study: one that is at once involved in the bellicosity, and yet keeps its distance. Such an agent will be better placed to maintain an objective and rational view of developments. The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) would seem to fit the bill. As a humanitarian organization that has been working with the victims of armed co…
Writing the History of Rape in Wartime
This is how Livy narrated the origins of Rome. Without the desired marriages, Romulus therefore organised games in honour of Neptune the Horse-god. As Livy continued, All the Sabines came, with their women and children. Roman households were opened to them, and as they saw the city, with its pleasing position, its ramparts, and its many houses, they were amazed at its rapid growth. The day came for the games and as all eyes and minds were concent…
An institution standing the test of time? A review of 150 years of the history of the International Committee of the Red Cross
This article seeks to explain how the ICRC – the oldest international humanitarian organization still in activity – has managed to pass through 150 years of existence. By analysing some key moments in ICRC history and by examining both its inner workings and their interaction with the context within which the organization has functioned over time, this article finds two characteristics that may help explain the ICRC's continuity: its unique speci…
Between Amazons and Sabines
Today, war is still perceived as being the prerogative of men only. Women are generally excluded from the debate on belligerence, except as passive victims of the brutality inflicted on them by their masculine contemporaries. Yet history shows that through the ages, women have also played a role in armed hostilities, and have sometimes even been the main protagonists. In the present article, the long history and the multiple facets of women's inv…
Le Comité international de la Croix-Rouge (Cicr) et les camps de concentration nazis, 1933-1939
Durant les années 1930, le Comité international de la Croix-Rouge (CICR) effectua par deux fois des visites dans des camps de concentration allemands. A posteriori , ces initiatives du CICR ont souvent été considérées comme une sorte de victoire remportée par une organisation internationale humanitaire sur le régime national-socialiste et sur son système d’oppression barbare. C’est du moins en ce sens que l’historiographie institutionnelle relate…
Crossing the desert – the ICRC in Iraq
For almost 60 years, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has been doing its best to provide humanitarian assistance to those groups in Iraq that need it most. This article describes the humanitarian operations of the ICRC in Iraq from 1950 to the present day, in particular the support it has given to different minorities in the country and its humanitarian responses to the various armed conflicts. It shows that the legal framework…
The ICRC delegate
“What is an ICRC delegate?” Here, in a sentence, is the focus of this article. Going through the in-house perception, which highlights the extraordinary and singular nature of this humanitarian player, and through the view of the public, which oscillates between the missionary of humanity and the mere holder of a temporary job, the authors attempt to give the reader the key to unveil and discover this peculiar profession
Mission humanitaire ou voyage d'étude ? Le Cicr et la guerre du Chaco
The Chaco War was the first opportunity for the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), the oldest of the international organizations, to launch a humanitarian action in Latin America. Between 1933 and 1934, ICRC sent two delegations in Bolivia and in Paraguay in order to visit the prisoners of war. If we are to believe the institutional literature, the ICRC's involvement for the victims of the war was successful. However, by the passing…
A haunting figure
Despite the recurrence of hostage-taking through the ages, the subject of hostages themselves has thus far received little analysis. Classically, there are two distinct types of hostages: voluntary hostages, as was common practice during the Ancien Régime of pre-Revolution France, when high-ranking individuals handed themselves over to benevolent jailers as guarantors for the proper execution of treaties; and involuntary hostages, whose seizure i…
Les nouveaux conflits
Le temps pour comprendre la violence de guerre
This article examines the violence of war from a temporal point of view, looking at various contemporary conflicts from a long-term perspective involving three kinds of time: “historical” time, “traditional” time and “mythical” time. It thus provides some elements that help explain the length of these conflicts, but also their deeper nature. In particular, it casts douht on the appropriateness of the term “ethnic war”, which has been used to char…
