The ICRC’s regional delegation in Caracas focuses on spreading awareness of IHL among the armed forces and civil society. It contributes to the integration of human rights standards into the manuals and training programmes of police forces. The delegation promotes the ratification of humanitarian treaties and the adoption of national implementation measures.

It also helps to boost the response capacity of National Red Cross Societies throughout the region, particularly in the fields of IHL promotion and restoring family links


Presence (2009): 13 staff, including 2 expatriates
