1. The self-governing National Red Cross Societies, including the Red

Crescent (in Muslim countries) and the Red Lion and Sun (in Iran), operate

on the national level through their volunteer members, although they also

participate in international work. Each must be recognized by the

International Committee. Today numbering 114, these societies have

Junior Red Cross Societies as well. Virtually all have disaster relief

programs/ and many carry on welfare programs, with community health

and safety instruction, and so on. Since World War II, many of the

European and Asian societies have also established refugee services.

these societies, was established in 1919 as the result of proposals made by

information; assists the societies in setting up new programs and in

improving or expanding old ones; coordinates international disaster

operations. It functions under an executive committee and a board of

governors on which every national society has representation.

independent group of Swiss citizens chosen by co-optation (limited to

activity. As guardian of the Geneva Conventions and of Red Cross

principles, it promotes their acceptance by governments, suggests their

revision, works for further development of international humanitarian law,

and recognizes new Red Cross Societies; it sends its Swiss delegates into

prisoner-of-war camps, supervises repatriation, operates the CentralTracina Agency, supplies material relief, and the like.4. The International Red Cross Conference, which met for the first time in

1867, is the highest legislative body. It is composed of representatives of
