When was the International Red Cross established and why?
The International Red Cross was established in 1863. It was based on the ideas of Henry Dunant, who petitioned for political leaders to take more action to help war victims. He proposed a treaty that would make sure armies took care of their wounded soldiers and the establishment of national organisations that would aid medical facilities in the military. This was the beginning of the International Red Cross.
Outline the role of the International Red Cross today.
The international Red Cross aids people who have been affected or are affected by armed conflict. It also assists people who are affected by a natural disaster taking place in a war zone. It aims to prevent suffering and strengthen the principles of human rights.
