Thank God for the Red Cross http://www.redcross.ca/ who time and again make a difference in times of great tragedy. Dunant returned to Geneva but was so preoccupied with what he has seen at Solferino that he wrote a book at his own expense in 1862 entitled ‘ A Memory of Solferino’. He wrote at length about the wounds and suffering he had seen and the shambles in which urgently necessary surgery was done. "Would it not be possible", he pleaded, "in time of peace and quiet to form relief societies for the purpose of having care given to the wounded in wartime by zealous, devoted and thoroughly qualified volunteers?" On August 22nd 1864, through the impetus of Dunant’s book, the historic First Geneva Convention was birthed. It provided for the alleviation of the sufferings of soldiers wounded on the battlefield. It gave neutral status to the military hospitals and medical personnel of the armies of the signing countries. As an identifying symbol, the Geneva Convention decided that these non-combatants should wear a red cross on a white field, a reversal of the colours in the Swiss national flag. In 1865 Great Britain and Canada added their names to the first ten European countries who signed the Geneva Convention treaty.

history international local history Committee of Five international born in blood - the International Red Cross Movement The Red Cross Movement was founded in 1859 when Swiss businessman, Henry Dunant, was moved to action after witnessing the bloody Battle of Solferino in Northern Italy. Horrified by what he saw, Dunant determined to establish an international organization dedicated to providing aid to victims of war. This organization would provide assistance to all, independent of nationality, religion and politics. In 1863, as a result of Dunant's recommendations, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) was born originally comprising of five members (see photo). A year later, twelve countries signed the First Geneva Convention , providing for the protection of wounded and for those who care for them. The now familiar emblem of a red cross on a white background was chosen to signify any such relief activity, and to guarantee protection for those who carry out this duty. In 1901, almost 40 years after the establishment of the International Red Cross, Henry Dunant was awarded the first ever Nobel Peace Prize.

Annual Report Area Offices Be Prepared: Safety Tips Board of Directors ... Related Links History 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 of 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 of the International Committee of the Red Cross. 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 creation of 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, governments signing the Geneva Conventions have included revisions to protect victims of all armed conflict. Today, the Swiss-based International Committee of the Red Cross continues its protective role around the world. Henry Dunant was a pioneer of global humanity, and was awarded the first Nobel Peace Prize.

III. Alfred Nobel And The Nobel Prizes Alfred Nobel is the man who invented dynamite. He is better known today, however, as the man who established some of the most prestigious prizes in the world. Born in 1833 in Stockholm, Sweden, Nobel from his youth had a dream of inventing an explosive so devastating it would deter humans from making war. Instead, his invention made war easier. Though he was a Swede by birth, he was very much an international man, being educated in St. Petersburg, Russia, where his family moved when he was a child. In St. Petersburg, he studied with private tutors, particularly showing interest in chemistry and languages. He mastered Swedish, Russian, English, French, and German. At the age of 17 he began two years of educational travel throughout Germany, France, Italy and to the United States. Then at the age of 19 he became a chemist, working with his father in St. Petersburg. The family returned to Sweden and in 1863 he was a chemist in his father's explosives factory at Heleneborg near Stockholm. In 1864 Nobel received a patent covering detonating charges and percussion caps. Called "The Nobel Igniter," it was to be called at a later time "the greatest discovery ever made in both the principle and practice of explosives." His 1866 invention of dynamite revolutionized mining, road building and tunnel blasting. In 1875 a later improvement was patented as blasting gelatine. In 1887 he patented ballistite, the first of the nitroglycerine smokeless powders. This was to serve as the basis for cordite which was eventually to change the use of firearms.

Emperor Napoleon III of France used his troops to support Italian nationalists against Austria and Hungary. When the battle was over, more than 30,000 soldiers had lost their lives and thousands were wounded and mutilated. An unwilling eyewitness to this battle, the young businessman Henry Dunant felt called to organize emergency aid services. With the help of the women in the village of Castiglione, he set up primitive wards in churches, convents and provisional tents. Henry Dunant gave every soldier regardless of nationality the same help and care and, on seeing this, his women helpers explaimed: "Tutti fratelli", they are all our brothers. Henry Dunant later wrote his account of the battle in "A memory of Solferino".

Bureau international permanent de la Paix (Permanent International Peace Bureau Comité international de la Croix Rouge (International Committee of the Red Cross) International Labour Organization United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) The Red Cross, a strictly neutral and impartial worldwide organization is dedicated to humanitarian interests in general and to alleviating human suffering in particular, is composed of three basic elements. I. The self-governing National Red Cross Societies, including the Red Crescent (in Muslim countries) and the Red Lion and Sun (in Iran), operate on the national level through their volunteer members, although they also participate in international work. Each must be recognized by the International Committee. Today numbering 114, these societies all have Junior Red Cross Societies as well. Virtually all have disaster relief programs, and many carry on welfare programs, with community health and safety instruction, and so on. Since World War II, many of the European and Asian societies have also established refugee services. 2. The League of Red Cross Societies, a coordinating world federation of these societies, was established in 1919 as the result of proposals made by Henry P. Davison (1867-1922) of the American Red Cross. The League maintains contacts between the societies; acts as a clearinghouse for information; assists the societies in setting up new programs and in improving or expanding old ones; coordinates international disaster operations. It functions under an executive committee and a board of governors on which every national society has representation.

A press release follows from the International Campaign to Ban Landmines: For Immediate Release October 10, 1997 MINE BAN CAMPAIGN WINS NOBEL PEACE PRIZE! The International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL) today was awarded the 1997 Nobel Peace Prize for its global efforts to eradicate antipersonnel landmines. The ICBL is an unprecedented coalition of more than 1,000 non-governmental organizations in more than sixty countries. The award went to the International Campaign and its coordinator, Jody Williams, of the Vietnam Veterans of America Foundation. Ms. Williams said, "The International Campaign to Ban Landmines is deeply grateful to the Nobel Committee for its recognition of our work to ban this insidious, indiscriminate weapon. Each of the 1,000 organizations in the coalition share this honor. Our strength has been not only in our numbers and diversity, but also in our determination and cooperation." The ICBL brings together humanitarian, human rights, children's, peace, veterans, medical, development, arms control, religious, environmental and women's groups in a common call for a complete ban on antipersonnel mines, and increased resources for humanitarian demining and mine victim rehabilitation and assistance.
