Extractions: Relief supplies were sent yesterday to local committees of the Russian Red Cross (RRC). The ICRC office elaborated that aid has already been provided to 800 households in Mineralnye Vody, 1,250 in Nevinnomyssk and 100 in Georgievsk. Civilians in the disaster area will be issued with plastics for shelters, blankets, potable water cans, food rations composed of canned meet and vegetables, buckwheat cereals, butter, tea, sugar, and personal hygiene packages complete with soap, washing powder, toothbrushes, and toothpaste. The ICRC and local RRC committees are continuing to reassess the situation in order to identify further needs and plan things to do in other areas. "Communications are being maintained with representatives of the Emergency Situations Ministry and the Civil Defense Department based in Mineralnye Vody and with other local authorities in order to coordinate actions undertaken in the region," Red Cross officials said. The ICRC estimates upwards of 280,000 have been affected by floods in Southern Russia. The Stavropol Region, Karachayevo-Cherkessia, the Krasnodar Territory, North Ossetia, Kabardino-Balkaria, and the city of Grozny appear to have been hit the hardest. A great number of residential buildings were fully or partially destroyed and the region's infrastructure was severely damaged.

Extractions: The International Committee of the Red Cross Mine/UXO Awareness Programs by Laurence Desvignes The ICRC Approach Many current mine awareness strategies continue to use a presentation approach, in which the community remains passive and simply receives information. For organizations using such an approach, mine awareness amounts to a simple public information campaign isolated from other kinds of mine action and humanitarian activities. With the aim of addressing the threat of mines and UXO more effectively, the ICRC has adopted another approach. First, the ICRC gathers relevant information on local needs, which can be used to devise an appropriate mine/UXO awareness strategy. Next, the ICRC involves mine-contaminated communities in the mine awareness process. The ICRC also cooperates closely with other organizations in responding to community needs. photo c/o ICRC / Giovanni Diffidenti The use of passive means (posters, leaflet distributions and lectures or presentations) to deliver mine awareness messages will not prevent accidents caused by high-risk behavior. To understand the causes of such behavior, it is essential to work with the communities and gather information on the risks that people are taking, why they are doing so (e.g., economic or emotional factors, social pressures or naivete), how they perceive the mine/UXO problem and what solutions they propose. It is important, therefore, not only to deliver the right message in the right way but also to find appropriate educational strategies to change high-risk behavior, which can be achieved by involving the communities in addressing the problem.

Conversation With Hernan Reyes, P. 2 Of 9
Joining the international committee of the red cross (ICRC). Was your first jobwith the international committee of the red cross?
http://globetrotter.berkeley.edu/people/Reyes/reyes-con2.html

Extractions: Photo by Jane Scherr Page 2 of 9 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?

Extractions: In 1863, Henri Dunant from Switzerland, established the International Committee of the Red Cross, an organization concerned with the alleviation of human suffering. The following year an international conference of 13 nations took place in Geneva, Switzerland, to discuss the care of the the sick and wounded in war. At the end of the conference the nations concluded an agreement, the Geneva Convention At the end of the conference the nations concluded an agreement, the Geneva Convention. The agreement provided for the neutrality of ambulance and military hospitals, the non-belligerent status of persons who aid the wounded, and sick soldiers of any nationality, the return of prisoners to their country if they are incapable of serving, and the adoption of a white flag with a red cross for use on hospitals, ambulances, and evacuation centres whose neutrality would be recognized by this symbol. Clara Barton , a nurse in the American Civil War , led the campaign to persuade the United States to sign the Geneva Convention. In 1877 Barton organized the American National Committee, which three years later became the American Red Cross. However, it was not until 1884 that the USA signed the Geneva Convention. It was also agreed to support Barton's efforts to distribute relief during floods, earthquakes, famines, cyclones and other peacetime disasters.
