Meeting of the Inter-Ministerial Team for International Humanitarian Law24.09.2024On September 24, the first meeting of members of the Inter-Ministerial Team for International Humanitarian Law with the International Committee of the Red Cross and the Polish Red Cross took place. During the event, the functioning of the Central Tracing Agency in Geneva was presented, including the Office of the Central Tracing Agency for the international conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the National Information and Tracing Office of the Polish Red Cross.
The activities of these entities result from the Geneva Conventions on the Protection of Victims of War of 1949 and the Additional Protocols to these Conventions. They focus, among other things, on searching for and determining the fate of missing persons and victims of armed conflicts and natural disasters, as well as conducting so-called humanitarian searches, graves and participation in exhumations of victims of armed conflicts. Representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross and the Polish Red Cross also informed about the tasks carried out during current armed conflicts and natural disasters, their constant relevance and the challenges that must be met.
