Inside three particular associations that are legitimately autonomous from one another, yet are joined inside the development through normal essential standards, targets, images, resolutions and overseeing associations.
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), a private compassionate establishment established in 1863 in Geneva, Switzerland, specifically by Henry Dunant and Gustave Moynier.[2] Its 25-part board has an interesting authority under worldwide helpful law to ensure the life and pride of the casualties of global and inward outfitted struggles. The ICRC was granted the Nobel Peace Prize on three events (in 1917, 1944 and 1963).[3]
The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) was established in 1919 and today it organizes between the 190 National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies inside the Movement, globally in close participation with the National Societies, help missions reacting to enormous scope crises. The International Federation Secretariat is situated in Geneva, Switzerland. In 1963, the Federation (then, at that point known as the League of Red Cross Societies) was granted the Nobel Peace Prize mutually with the ICRC.
The National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies exist in virtually every country on the planet. As of now 192 National Societies are perceived by the ICRC and conceded as full individuals from the Federation. Every substance works in its nation of origin as per the standards of global compassionate law and the rules of the worldwide Movement. Contingent upon their particular conditions and limits, National Societies can take on extra philanthropic undertakings that are not straightforwardly characterized by global helpful law or the orders of the worldwide Movement.
