KUALA LUMPUR: The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has commended Malaysia’s track record for the past 50 years in protecting and assisting victims of war and other violence, besides actively promoting International Humanitarian Law (IHL).
ICRC regional director for Asia and the Pacific, Christine Cipolla, said the world will not forget the episode where hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese refugees were hosted by Malaysia at Pulau Bidong in Terengganu from the 1970s to the 1990s before they were resettled in other countries.
