Abstract
Brought to Afghanistan in 1987 by its mandate to protect and assist the victims of armed conflict, the ICRC developed its activites there considerably. As a result, it opened sub-delegations in Mazar-I Sharif and Herat in 1989 and became one of the few humanitarian organizations operating in most parts of the country with the consent of both government authorities and opposition movements.
