1942 : le comité international de la croix-rouge, les déportations et les camps

1942 : the International committee of the Red Cross, deportations and camps, Jean-Claude Favez. What was the attitude of the International committee of the Red Cross towards the horror of the Nazi camps ? An analysis of its hesitations throughout 1942 reveals the situation by showing the impase in which it found itself enclosed. Traditional humanitarian support, founded on diplomacy and international conventions, proved either totally unadapted to the concentration camp phenomenon on simply impossible. But the Red Cross did not seem capable of placing its action at another level, such as that of public denunciation and an appeal to world opinion : it was the prisoner of a strictly legalistic state of mind which made it reason in terms of states not in terms of ideology ; dependent on considerations leading to the respect of strict neutrality. It was therefore condemned, if not to absolute inaction, at least to relative inefficacy. Could it really have acted otherwise ?Favez Jean-Claude. 1942 : le comité international de la croix-rouge, les déportations et les camps.
