Reply #42: the ICRC action is simply to report

[grantcart]

the whole idea of the ICRC is to make confidential reports and submit them directly to the head of government so that the head of the government can be made aware of problems that are occuring unbeknowst to them at the battle field level.

They really have no roll to play when the government itself is non compliant.

For example there has never been a case of an ICRC report being leaked except by governments or agencies in the government for their reasons.
