The ICRC has been operating in Afghanistan since 1987 and has set up its headquarters there to carry out humanitarian missions.

This research will answer how humanitarian diplomacy was carried out by the ICRC in Afghanistan in the year of 2010-2021. This research uses Literature Reviews from books and journals regarding humanitarian diplomacy as a basis for thinking in writing with the qualitatitve method. The results of this study is that ICRC's humanitarian diplomacy in Afghanistan focuses on helping victims of armed conflict in Afghanistan and the moderated humanitarian style becomes dominant by means of humanitarian dialogue in the fields of bilateral and multilateral networks, advocacy, promotion, reconstruction and financial support, while maintaining neutrality and impartiality ICRC as a humanitarian organization.
