Panama

In Panama, as in other contexts, the ICRC works to ensure that people with the highest risk and vulnerability factors are protected and assisted, and that their fundamental rights and dignity are respected.

The ICRC has been present in Panama since 1989. In 2010, a headquarters agreement was signed between the Government of Panama and the ICRC, establishing a permanent presence and strengthening its exclusively humanitarian activities in the country.

This country is covered by the regional delegation in Mexico.
