My my, are some people ignorant or what, eh?

"The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) is an impartial, neutral and independent organization whose exclusively humanitarian mission is to protect the lives and dignity of victims of war and internal violence and to provide them with assistance."
The ICRC's mandate and mission

And this mandate isn't just something the ICRC found in a Cracker Jack box. It's conferred on the organization by the Geneva Conventions, to which Israel is party.

Do your homework, Chancellor.
I am well aware of what the Red Cross is! It still has no standing to demand anything.

As for the Geneva Conventions conferring anything on the Red Cross, the history suggests that it was the work of the Red Cross that led to the creation of the Geneva Conventions: From the battle of Solferino to the eve of the First World War.

Since there is no world government with any actual authority to legislate, there is no such thing as international law and no sovereign nation is under any obligation to accept any incursions upon their sovereignty that they do not place on themselves.
