Re: ICRC Denied Access to Kosovo POWs
Date: April 23, 1999
"The International Committee of the Red Cross regrets that despite repeated oral and written representations to the authorities of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, it has still not been granted access to three United States servicemen captured more than three weeks ago."
"Further oral and written requests have been made to the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Defense by the ICRC delegation in Belgrade and during a visit there last week by the organization's head of operations for Europe."
Yugoslavia is a signatory (as of 21 April 1950) to the Third Geneva Conventions of 1949, and thereby bound by them.
