What ICRC do

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) works worldwide to provide humanitarian assistance to people affected by conflict and armed violence. It takes action in response to emergencies and at the same time promotes respect for international humanitarian law. It is an independent and neutral organization, and our mandate stems essentially from the Geneva Conventions of 1949. It works closely with National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and with their International Federation in order to ensure a concerted, rational, and rapid humanitarian response to the needs of the victims of armed conflict or any other situation of internal violence. It also directs and coordinates the international activities conducted in these situations.
