Extract

Whilst the Swedish Government and the United Nations were making their representations, the International Committee of the Red Cross actively contributed to the release of the fifteen members of the UNO forces (eleven Swedes, two Norwegians and two Irish) prisoners of the Katangans, who were exchanged for thirty-three Katanga troops. From the beginning of their detention, the ICRC, in accordance with its specific attributions, attempted to ensure that these prisoners benefited from its protection.
