The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC)

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) is a neutral, humanitarian organization dedicated to protecting and assisting victims of armed conflicts and violence worldwide. Established in 1863, it operates independently of governments, providing medical aid, restoring family connections, and promoting respect for international humanitarian law. The ICRC works in conflict zones to save lives, alleviate suffering, and ensure that those affected are treated with dignity, regardless of their nationality or allegiance. Its core mission is to act as a neutral intermediary that upholds human dignity in times of war.
