Abstract
After a mission by the President of the ICRC in July 1980 to the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya the government authorities of that country made a sizeable gift in cash to the ICRC and, at the same time, proposed setting up a special fund, the annual income of which would be used for financing the general protection and assistance activities of the ICRC.
