It directs and coordinates the international relief activities conducted by the Movement in situations of conflict. It also endeavours to prevent suffering by promoting and strengthening humanitarian law and universal humanitarian principles. Established in 1863, the ICRC is at the origin of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. (1921; the Tenth International Conference) Seven Fundamental Principles:

Extractions: August 31-September 7, 2001 Non-Discrimination and Armed Conflict Mr. (or Madam) Chairperson, Thank you for giving me the floor. Allow me to say at the outset how pleased and honored I am to address the Third World Conference against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance on behalf of the International Committee of the Red Cross and to also extend my appreciation to the Government and people of South Africa for hosting it. My statement will focus on non-discrimination and international humanitarian law and outline ICRC's interest and involvement in preparations for the World Conference. As is well-known, ICRC's action is rooted in international humanitarian law. As guardian of that body of law, the ICRC endeavors to ensure that it is respected by all parties invol-ved in armed conflict, whether they be governments or non-State entities. Through its presence in more than 80 countries, the ICRC establishes a dialogue with all actors in conflicts with a view to creating a relationship of trust, thereby securing the practical im-plementation of humanitarian law and making sure that its delegates have access to per-sons in need. Based on our humanitarian work worldwide we, too, are aware that racism, racial dis-crimination, xenophobia and related intolerance are not just problems that individual na-tions and the international community need to address in peacetime, but just as impor-tantly, in situations of armed conflict. As a number of recent and ongoing conflicts around the world clearly show, the inequality or exclusion of peoples, groups and indi-viduals is one of the root causes of conflict and, very often, one of its consequences.

In fairness and to facilitate clarity, suffice it to say that neither the American, nor probably any other national, Red Cross is consulted about these activities. Send this page to a friend Format this page for printing Few would argue that historically the International Committee of the Red Cross ("ICRC") has not achieved some meaningful humanitarian relief efforts, with at most somewhat minimal unacceptable or questionable diversion into politics. How dramatically that recently has changed! It generally isn't the ideal to rely upon a study by a partisan political entity. However, the work product of the United States Senate Republican Policy Committee, chaired by the conscientious and objective Senator Jon Kyl, of Arizona, often illustrates the exception to the general rule. The Committee does so in its recent Report, "Are American Interests Being [sic] Disserved by the International Committee of the Red Cross?" The Report, wisely and accurately, notes that international Red Cross activity has benefited hundreds of thousands of ill-fated people around the world. The Report also observes that ICRC has helped save American lives in World Wars I and II (although the experience, perhaps isolated, of some World War I veterans, including my late father, was far more favorable to the Salvation Army).

It coordinates the relief activities conducted by the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement in situations of armed conflict. It also endeavours to prevent suffering by promoting and strengthening humanitarian law and universal humanitarian principles. The similar effects of landmines and explosive remnants of war (ERW) on civilian populations call for similar humanitarian responses, including protecting affected communities, raising their awareness of the dangers posed by these devices, providing care and assistance to victims, and facilitating mine and ERW clearance for affected communities. To reduce the devastating humanitarian impact of both landmines and ERW, the ICRC carries out a range of "mine action" activities, in particular: providing or supporting curative care to tens of thousands of war wounded, including mine/ERW victims, in the form of pre-hospital care (including first aid), hospital assistance, and surgical and medical assistance;

Extractions: RESEARCH ORDER CONTACTS ... 4. MINE VICTIM ASSISTANCE The contribution of this paper does not necessarily imply the association of the ICRC with views or statements made in other chapters of Landmine Monitor. Efforts to rid the world of anti-personnel (AP) mines have begun to bear fruit. In countries where the Ottawa treaty's comprehensive programme of non-use of anti-personnel mines, clearance and mine awareness is being implemented, the annual number of victims has fallen dramatically. This confirms that the treaty's prescriptions are correct and effective. Notwithstanding these achievements, AP mines remain a menace and continue to bring suffering to civilian populations in many parts of the world. It is imperative to ensure universal adherence to and compliance with the treaty's provisions. States parties must meet their obligations fully by undertaking mine clearance, destroying their stockpiles within the deadlines set, and providing aid to landmine survivors. They must also adopt legislation to provide for the punishment of those who flout the treaty's provisions. Throughout 2001, the ICRC maintained its pivotal role in promoting universal adherence to and full implementation of the Ottawa treaty. The ICRC also sustained its efforts to extend assistance, including curative care and physical rehabilitation, to thousands of war-wounded including

Extractions: The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) was founded nearly 150 years ago. Its guiding principle is that even in war there are limits, on how warfare is conducted and how combatants behave. The rules that were established with this in mind and endorsed by nearly every nation in the world are known as international humanitarian law, of which the Geneva Conventions are the bedrock. International humanitarian law (IHL) is the body of rules which, in wartime, protects people who are not or are no longer participating in the hostilities. Its central purpose is to limit and prevent human suffering in times of armed conflict. The rules are to be observed not only by governments and their armed forces, but also by armed opposition groups and any other parties to a conflict. The four Geneva Conventions of 1949 and their two Additional Protocols of 1977 are the principal instruments of humanitarian law. Website (URL) http://www.icrc.org/eng

Mueller Save a personal copy of this article and quickly find it again with Furl.net. It's free! Save it. War presents the military police with many situations that are never dealt with in peacetime exercises. Some situations can be prepared for, some cannot. If you subscribe to the premise that knowledge is a combat multiplier, you want to be well prepared for the enemy prisoner of war (EPW) mission. Time constraints in professional development courses have left out some essential information about dealing with this mission. It is my hope that this article will prepare future MP leaders for facing this mission. History Henry Dunant, a Swiss citizen, wrote a book about the suffering he witnessed among the casualties at the battle of Solferino, Italy, during the War of Italian Unification in 1859. People were horrified at the suffering of the wounded and dying soldiers. The book was a huge success. One influential man, Gustave Moynier, was impressed by Mr. Dunant's book and presented it to a local charity that he chaired, which then established a five-member committee to study Mr. Dunant's proposals. (1) The committee met for the first time on 17 February 1863. This committee became known as the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) because of the distinctive emblem that distinguished its members from the others on the battlefield.
