- ↑ With regard to Europe, the ICRC was for some time the only international humanitarian institution authorised by the occupying Powers to operate over the whole of the German territory, and it had the responsibility of administering, in addition to its own activities, the work of other relief organisations until the time when the latter were authorised to carry on their work without restriction. The delegates of the ICRC visited persons under detention in Werl, Landsberg and Wittlich. In conjunction with the Paris Delegation, they made representations for the establishment of a status for German prisoners of war who had become civilian workers in France. In the course of 1953 they were engaged in relief actions for the disabled, displaced persons, refugees and stateless persons, and also with the reunion of families belonging to German ethnical minorities in East and South East European countries. Detailed information on their activities are given in the present report. As some of the work of the ICRC could be handed over to the German Red Cross Society, for both economic and practical reasons a reduction of the ICRC services was decided upon. After the Berlin Delegation, that of Bad Kreuznach was recalled in 1953. Regular contact was nevertheless retained through the services of a travelling delegate of the ICRC. — Internationales Komitee vom Roten Kreuz, Report on the Work of the International Committee of the Red Cross (January 1 to December 31, 1953), Genf 1954, Seiten 9–10.
