Extended data
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) was founded on February 9, 1983 at the initiative of Swiss Henri Dunant. At that time, it was called "International Rescue Committee" and later renamed as 1880. It is the earliest Red Cross organization in the world and a private organization in Switzerland. It is completely composed of Swiss citizens, protected and bound by Swiss laws, and its headquarters is in Geneva. Its highest authority is the annual plenary meeting, and the executive Committee leads the daily affairs during the closing of the meeting.
The purpose of the Committee is to do good in the war. According to the Geneva Convention, the Committee can act as a neutral group to protect and relieve war victims, accept accusations of violating humanitarian conventions, devote itself to improving and disseminating humanitarian conventions, and cooperate with relevant groups to train medical personnel and develop medical equipment.
Legal obligations of the International Committee of the Red Cross
This responsibility comes from two sources:
The Geneva Conventions stipulate that the International Committee of the Red Cross should undertake the following tasks: visiting detainees; Organize rescue operations; Help separated families reunite and carry out similar humanitarian activities during armed conflicts.
The Statute of the International Committee of the Red Cross encourages the organization to carry out similar work in cases of domestic violence to which the Geneva Conventions do not apply.
The Geneva Convention is a binding treaty of international law, which is applicable to the whole world. The statute of the International Committee of the Red Cross was adopted at the International Conference of the Red Cross and Red Crescent. The Conference is held every four years, with the participation of all States parties to the Geneva Conventions. Therefore, it gives the Statute of the International Committee of the Red Cross a quasi-legal or "soft law" status.
Purpose of the International Committee of the Red Cross
The International Committee of the Red Cross is an impartial, neutral and independent organization. Its unique humanitarian mission is to protect the lives and dignity of victims of armed conflicts and other violent situations and to provide them with assistance.
The International Committee of the Red Cross also tries its best to prevent suffering by promoting and strengthening humanitarian law and universal humanitarian principles. The International Committee of the Red Cross was established in 1863. It is the initiator of the Geneva Conventions and the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. The organization is responsible for guiding and coordinating the international actions of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement in armed conflicts and other violent situations.
