: Conversations with History; Institute of International Studies, UC Berkeley Photo by Jane Scherr Page 2 of 9 Joining the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) Was your first job with the International Committee of the Red Cross? No, I worked as an obstetrician/gynecologist for six years. I got my training. But human rights, international work was in your blood, as we've just discussed. It turned out to be that way, but I was headed for a career in obstetrics and gynecology. I was named director of a hospital in Switzerland and finally decided not to take that job, because the ICRC, the International Committee of the Red Cross, asked me to stay on with them. What were your first assignments? Did you start doing work with prisoners or did you have a different portfolio in the beginning in the Red Cross? Before we talk about that, let's help people understand what exactly the International Committee of the Red Cross is, and what its mandate is. For a U.S. audience, of course, we mostly think of the Red Cross as a national organization dealing with disasters, but that's not really the main mandate of your committee, or is it? And what this is really about is peoples and private organizations in different parts of the world concerned about the norms that we are going to live by as states deal with each other. This movement was an engine for new norms on these issues in international affairs, right?

May 6 '03 - 8th of May Home Up Feedback Contents ... Donate to PRCS th of May International Day of the Red Cross and Red Crescent The International Day of the Red Cross and Red Crescent, falls each year on May 8 th , the anniversary of the birth of Henry Dunant , the Swiss citizen who in 1863 founded the Red Cross, which later became the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). It was June 1859 when the armies of Austria and the Franco-Sardinian alliance fought a daylong battle near the northern Italian village of Solferino. The casualties were heavy; some 40,000 dead and wounded soldiers lay scattered across the battlefield. That same evening Henry Dunant, a young Swiss businessman, arrived in the area on business. He was horrified by what he saw. With the help of the women in nearby villages, Dunant tried to aid the wounded regardless of their uniform and nationality - seeing them as unarmed and suffering men in need of help. In 1863, Dunant and four citizens of Geneva called for the humane treatment of the sick and wounded during wartime. This was the precursor to the modern Geneva Conventions. This meeting marked the founding of the Committee for Relief to the Wounded, which later became the International Committee of the Red Cross. The symbol of the Red Cross (the reverse of the Swiss flag) was recognized by states in 1864 as a protective sign for ambulances, hospitals and military medical services. The Red Crescent appeared for the first time in 1876 on the ambulances of the Ottoman Empire. In 1929, it was recognized and became a protective sign.

Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5 ... Chapter 7 The American Red Cross is part of an international humanitarian movement that has its roots in 19th century war-torn Europe. In 1862, Henry Dunant , a young Swiss businessman, wrote A Memory of Solferino , in which he described what he had seen on the northern Italian battlefield in 1859 where 40,000 troops were killed or wounded and left without help. His concern touched many, leading to the birth in 1863 of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). This first committee, which included Dunant, adopted a red cross on a white background as the emblem, the reverse of the Swiss flag. Dunant's ideas led to the Geneva Conventions, international treaties designed to protect these war victims: the wounded and sick on land (1864) and sea (1906), prisoners of war (1929), and civilians (1949). Since then, 165 governments have signed the Geneva Conventions, including additional revisions to protect victims of all armed conflict. Today, the all-Swiss ICRC continues its protective role around the world. The American Red Cross is one of more than 145 national societies that make up the League of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland. (Governments recognized the crescent as a protective emblem in 1929.) In addition, the American Red Cross works closely with the nonmember Magen David Adom society of Israel. The League encourages its member societies to work together to relieve suffering from major natural disasters.
