13:06Red Cross Neutrality

The International Committee of the Red Cross has access to military prisons and war zones around the world.

From Guantanamo Bay to Darfur, Kojo explores the role of the ICRC.

Steve Hansch, Fellow, Georgetown Institute for the Study of International Migration; Adjunct Faculty Instructor, American University
