ABSTRACT
In earlier chapters we discussed the history and activities of the ICRC. This chapter looks at the future direction of the organization. Specifically, we discuss some of the most pressing issues that the ICRC will have to face in the twenty-first century. We explore the challenges confronting the organization and assess its relevance in contemporary international relations. We conclude by suggesting that the ICRC is still an important actor with a neutral role to play in world affairs.
