Description :
ICRC teams include detention and protection specialists, legal experts and a medical doctor, who are based out of our regional delegation in Washington DC. Because the detainees speak many different languages – from Arabic and Farsi to Pashto and Urdu – we also fly in specialized detention delegates from across the globe.

On February 7, the ICRC completed its 100th visit to the United States detention facility at Guantanamo Bay Cuba, where its delegates have been monitoring the detainees' living conditions since 2002 in order to ensure that they are held and treated in accordance with international standards.
