  We discuss INTEGRAL's capabilities to detect a high redshift population of
Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) in comparison to other high-energy missions. Emphasis
is done on the study of the relative capabilities of IBIS on board INTEGRAL
with respect to SWIFT and HETE 2 for detecting a high redshift population of
GRBs. We conclude that, if the GRB rate is proportional to the star formation
rate, INTEGRAL's capabilities for studying GRBs are complementary to the ones
of missions like SWIFT and HETE 2, specially devoted to prompt localisations of
GRBs. Whereas SWIFT and HETE 2 would detect a higher number of GRBs than
INTEGRAL, IBIS might be able to detect high redshift (z>~7) GRBs, unreachable
for SWIFT and HETE 2. We discuss the relevance of performing near-infrared
(NIR) observations of the INTEGRAL GRBs and the strategy that large class
telescopes might follow.
