During the armed conflict in Iraq in 2003, the coalition forces did a lot of captivity to the citizens of Iraq. The arrest is deemed contrary to international humanitarian due to the fact that torture had been committed by the Coalition Forces. ICRC as an international organization that aims to protect those prisoner, visits the prisoners’ camp. Problems emerged when the ICRC report on torture to the Detaining Powers. Those report aims to provide recommendations to the Detaining Powers to make improvements of the condition of the prisoners. However, problems emerged when the report was leaked to the media.
