International Humanitarian Law: a mechanism proposed by Switzerland and the ICRC refused

“All institutional development takes time.” “We have consulted. We now have a negotiating mandate (on the implementation of such a mechanism in the future).” said Ambassador François Voeffray
The conference brought together nearly 4,000 delegates representing the ICRC, IFRC, 190 national societies, and the 196 States parties of Conventions.
