Red Cross - The Power of Humanity


The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement is an international 
humanitarian movement with approximately 97 million volunteers, members and 
staff worldwide which was founded to protect human life and health, to ensure 
respect for all human beings, and to prevent and alleviate human suffering, 
without any discrimination based on nationality, race, sex, religious beliefs, 
class or political opinions.
 
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) is a private humanitarian 
institution founded in 1863 in Geneva, Switzerland, by Henry Dunant. Its 
25-member committee has a unique authority under international humanitarian law 
to protect the life and dignity of the victims of international and internal 
armed conflicts. The ICRC was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize on three occasions 
(in 1917, 1944 and 1963).
