About Us

The (ICRC) works worldwide to protect and assist people affected by armed conflict and other situations of violence. We respond to emergencies while promoting respect for international humanitarian law. An independent and neutral organization, the ICRC’s mandate is rooted in the Geneva Conventions of 1949.
