Talk:International Committee of the Red Cross

message: A remark about non-Swiss nationals and the ICRC: membership of the ICRC is still strictly restricted to Swiss citizens, and probably will be so as long as the ICRC exists. In addition to that, the maximum number of members is 25. What is allowed since a couple of years is service of individuals from other countries as delegates to lead or participate in abroad missions conducted by the ICRC. Previously, serving as a delegate was also restricted to Swiss citizens but the need for delegates by far exceeds the number of Swiss people who are willing to go on such a mission. As I'm not a native speaker regarding the English language, I abstain from changing the article for myself, but I kindly ask to edit it regarding this issue. Sincerely, Uwe from the German Wikipedia

message: Draeco, the tone and structure of this article is completely inappropriate. All you have done is paste a portion of an article that was well-thought out and constructed to another place. If we are even going to consider this change, don't you think you should change the tone and structure first? There are still many references to the Movement here, and the distinctions are not apparent at all. I think it would be better if you made sample pages on your user page until you are satisfied, which could later be used to vote on a change. Otherwise, you may divide up lots of work and destroy the structure and tone established by the earlier authors. Also, in the meantime while you finish your changes, the article(s) will lose all coherence. Tfine80 20:38, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: (Tfine80 is referring to this edit and its predecessors) -- Very well, I'll continue the work at User:Draeco/ICRC, since the article is still in its formative stages as you noted. All editors are still welcome to join in. - Draeco 20:51, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

message: The article misleadingly passes over the highly controversial 'Report of the International Committee of the Red Cross' published under the editorship of Frederic Siordet in Geneva in 1948, which described Red Cross activities in association with the German detention of civilians in camps.  Essentially, this work presented evidence denying the Holocaust long after any international political concerns or pressure from the Nazi regime could have induced any fabrication.  Omitting discussion of this, and instead concentrating solely on the Red Cross acceptance of the Holocaust years later, raises suspicion that this article is more a propaganda piece than a strictly factual entry.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.151.246.108 (talk) 22:51, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: The reference to the "controversial" Siordet report is just the warming over of an old denialist deception that the report supports "Holocaust revisionism." This is a plain lie: "The ICRC report is very clear regarding Nazi atrocities." (See page 641 of the report which states that Jews were "outcasts condemned by rigid racial legislation to suffer tyranny, persecution, and systematic extermination" quoted in  Siordet Report) See document at:  ICRC Report 1948 Joel Mc (talk) 14:15, 23 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text:  The link provided does not lead to the three-volume work published by the International Red Cross in 1948, but just to a 1962 'Analytischer Bericht,' or 'Analytical Report,' by which time things were being cleaned up.  I have never been able to locate a copy of the much-discussed 1948 report, which many suggest said nothing about extermination but blamed the deaths on the inability to supply the camps with food because of the breakdown of the railway system due to Allied bombing at the end of the war.  A usually reliable source of all difficult to locate texts from the Second World War, the ZVAB site, also does not have it.  I am increasingly suspicious that this report remains persistently elusive.  A copy is supposedly available at the Red Cross archives in Geneva, but beyond that, there should be more copies available to scholars, not just summaries and excerpts published a long time after.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.151.246.70 (talk) 16:00, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

The children are educated but roaming around the streets because of school fee problem in most parts of Papua New Guinea. Ronica Yuan (talk) 09:12, 17 December 2019 (UTC)
