Sažetak
Based on original archival sources, published sources, periodicals and relevant bibliographical literature the author comprehensively describes procedure of the designation of permanent representative of the International Committee of the Red Cross in the Independent
State of Croatia (1943). In addition to the political component of this procedure, which had a very important role in the process of appointing a permanent representative in Zagreb, the author discusses some aspects of the ICRC’s humanitarian work in the Independent State of Croatia. By the same token, author describes a comprehensive image of both, domestic and international factors that influenced realization of the agreement on the designation of the ICRC’s permanent representative in Zagreb. Finally, ICRC from
Geneva, Croatian Red Cross and authorities of the Independent State of Croatia agreed with the designation of a Swiss citizen Julius (Julio) Schmidlin as the ICRC’s permanent representative in the ISC. Schmidlin’s role as the designated permanent representative was
to deal with the matters regarding the war victims, concentration camps, the application of international laws of war, and especially he had to take care about various types of assistance to the civil casualties of the war. In those efforts the permanent representative
tightly cooperated with the Caritas of the Archdiocese of Zagreb and with the children’s relief Action of Diana Budisavljević.
