The ideas and actions that led to the creation of the largest humanitarian
movement in the world are still as startlingly modern and pertinent as ever. The
pictures presented here pay homage to the millions of people who are working
hard still today to put into practice the ideas of one man who came face to face
with the horrors of war 160 years ago.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS


 * WHAT IS THE ICRC?
   
   The ICRC is a neutral, impartial and independent humanitarian organization.
   We have a mandate to help and protect people affected by armed conflict and
   other violence or – as our mission statement puts it – “other situations of
   violence”. When we talk about other violence, we mean violence that has not
   reached the threshold of an armed conflict but is carried out by large groups
   and has consequences in humanitarian terms. This mandate was given to us by
   states through the four Geneva Conventions of 1949, their Additional
   Protocols of 1977 and 2005 and the Statutes of the International Red Cross
   and Red Crescent Movement of 1986.
   
   Our mandate and legal status sets us apart from both intergovernmental
   organizations (such as the specialized agencies of the United Nations) and
   non-governmental organizations. This status allows us to function
   independently of governments and to serve, with complete impartiality, the
   people most in need of protection and assistance.


 * WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE ICRC AND THE INTERNATIONAL RED CROSS AND
   RED CRESCENT MOVEMENT?
   
   The ICRC is part of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement,
   which also comprises 191 National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and
   the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC).
   
   The ICRC works closely with National Societies and the IFRC to ensure a
   concerted, efficient and rapid response to conflict or violence. The Movement
   is the largest humanitarian network in the world.
