Synopsis
The ICRC is an independent and neutral organization that protects and assists the victims of armed conflict and other violence. Every two weeks, we'll be publishing a new podcast, with a new and interesting episode from the organization's past and present. We're currently in the process of digitizing and cataloguing our rich audio archives, which means we too are discovering a few long-forgotten stories.
