Extract

Although the Malaysian Government does not accept the Geneva Conventions as being applicable to the armed conflict in which Indonesia is opposing it, the International Committee of the Red Cross has been authorized to carry out its humanitarian activity on behalf of the Indonesian victims of that conflict. Its general delegate for Asia, Mr. Andre Durand, visited in December 1964 and January 1965, a number of Indonesians who had fallen into the hands of the Malaysian authorities.
