‘‘What is an ICRC delegate?’’ Here, in a sentence, is the focus of this article. Going
through the in-house perception, which highlights the extraordinary and singular
nature of this humanitarian player, and through the view of the public, which
oscillates between the missionary of humanity and the mere holder of a temporary job,
the authors attempt to give the reader the key to unveil and discover this peculiar
profession.
