With so many global challenges competing for attention and resources, ICRC is committed to shining a light on and addressing the forgotten crises around the world. In a time of polarization and the dehumanization of various groups, including migrants, neighboring communities, and even first aid workers, Red Cross Movement reinforces the basic principle of humanity, especially in the places where it is most essential to keeping Humanity alive.

The work of the ICRC is based on the Geneva Conventions of 1949, their Additional Protocols, its Statutes – and those of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement – and the resolutions of the International Conferences of the Red Cross and Red Crescent. The ICRC is an independent, neutral organization ensuring humanitarian protection and assistance for victims of armed conflict and other situations of violence. It takes action in response to emergencies and endeavors to prevent suffering by promoting and strengthening humanitarian law and universal humanitarian principles.

Established in 1863, the ICRC is at the origin of the Geneva Conventions and the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. It directs and coordinates the international activities conducted by the Movement in armed conflicts and other situations of violence.

the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) is a neutral, impartial, independent humanitarian organization, helping people affected by conflict and armed violence and promoting the laws that protect victims of war. Please see our website www.icrc.org for more information about our work.
