The Red Cross is an international humanitarian agency. In times of war, it
is dedicated to reducing the sufferings of wounded soldiers, civilians, and
prisoners of war. In time of peace, it gives medical aid and other help to
victims of major disasters such as floods, earthquakes, epidemics, and
famines.
The initiative for founding the Red Cross came from a Swiss man called

Jean Henri Dunant. Appalled by the almost complete lack of care for
wounded soldiers, he appealed to the leaders of nations to found
societies devoted to the aid of the wounded in wartime. A conference
was held in Geneva in 1864, and official delegates of 12 nations signed
the first Geneva Convention, laying down rules for the treatment and
protection of the wounded and the disaster-stricken. It was also at this
meeting that the famous symbol of the organization, the white flag
bearing a red cross, was adopted.


It was Henry Davison, president of the American Red Cross War
Committee, who proposed forming a federation of these National
Societies. An international medical conference initiated by Davison
resulted in the birth of the League of Red Cross Societies in 1991. In
November 1991, it became the International Federation of Red Cross. The
Federation’s mission is to improve the lives of vulnerable people who are
victims of natural disasters, poverty and health emergencies.
The International Red Cross has its headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland.
Today, the total number of national Red Cross societies from all over the
world has mounted to 186. So help and support are able to be rapidly
sent to wherever there are victims of catastrophe, for example, to help
the victims of Asia tsunami in 2004. Red Cross and Red Crescent National
Societies in the countries hit by the tsunami reacted without hesitation to
help those struggling to survive, despite the fact that many staff and
volunteers had lost families, friends, colleagues and livelihoods. For
example, the Indonesian Red Cross Headquarters in Banda Aceh was
washed away, but a temporary office was in place within hours and the
injured were being helped.

III. AFTER YOU READ
There are five permanent members and ten non-permanent members in
this organization. The permanent members include: China, France, the
Russian Federation, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The ten
non-permanent members are elected by the General Assembly and not
eligible for immediate reelection. Viet Nam was among the five countries
recently elected to replace the five non-permanent members of the
Security Council from January 2008.
The organization is a technical agency of the United Nations. It was
founded in 1947 for the purpose of promoting the safe and orderly
development of civil aviation throughout the world. It sets international
standards and regulations necessary for the safety, efficiency and
regularity of air transportation.
This organization was established by the General Assembly of the United
Nations in 1965 to promote “sustainable human development” in
developing countries. It strives to reduce poverty; increase literacy;
create jobs; enhance technical cooperation between industrialized and


non-industrialized nations; preserve and protect the environment; and
ensure that women receive recognition, encouragement, and training.
The main goal of this organization is to eliminate hunger on the world
scale and its mandate is to “raise levels of nutrition, improve agricultural
productivity, better the lives of the rural population, and contribute to the
growth of the world economy.” It originated from a conference in Virginia,

U.S.A., in 1943, called by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, with the
presence of 34 nations.
The organization was established in 1948 in order to reduce human
disease, sponsor medical research, offer emergency aid during disasters,
and improve nutrition, housing, sanitation and working conditions in
developing countries. The agency is best known for its vaccination
programs and its successful battle against smallpox.
This organization was established in 1994 and began operation in 1995.
It promotes and puts into effect the provisions of trade laws and
regulations. The organization has the authority to manage and regulate
new and existing free trade agreements, to supervise world trade
practices, and to settle trade disputes among member states.
