Abstract
It is by now well known that on 1 August 1969 the ICRC submitted a plan to the authorities in Lagos and in the secessionist territory. On 15 August it received their agreement. Mr. Bignami, the ICRC President's personal representative in Lagos, kept in touch with the Nigerian Government whose reply reached Geneva somewhat later.
