The ICRC does not determine who will be released or not. This is the responsibility of the parties to the conflict. The ICRC’s role is purely humanitarian and, in this instance, is limited to supporting the logistical aspects of this release operation to ensure safe and dignified release and repatriation.
If you have not been in contact with your relative, and if you have not submitted a tracing request, you can open a tracing request with the ICRC, and we will try to help you find out where the person is and restore contact.
