An independent humanitarian institution, the ICRC is the founding body of the Red Cross. As a neutral intermediary in case of armed conflicts or disturbances, it endeavours on its own initiative or on the basis of the Geneva Conventions to protect and assist the victims of international and civil wars and of internal troubles and tensions, thereby contributing to peace in the world.

Its first complete edition in English was issued in 1961. - As the official organ of the ICRC and the International Red Cross, - specializing in international humanitarian law and ICRC doctrine, - recording the international activities of the Red Cross, mainly for reference purpose, as a chronicle of events, International Review of the Red Cross provides a constant flow of information and maintains the necessary link between the members of the International Red Cross. International Review of the Red Cross appears once every two months in three languages: in English: INTERNATIONAL REVIEW OF THE RED CROSS (from 1961) in French: REVUE INTERNATIONALE DE LA CROIX-ROUGE in Spanish: REVISTA INTERNACIONAL DE LA CRUZ ROJA (from 1976) It also publishes, in German, a short edition, Extracts, of various articles which appear in the main editions.

It would be tempting-andfar too facile-to judge the outcome of the Conference solely by this momentous decision, and see it as portending ill for the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. If we share the ICRC President's conviction that the situation thus created must not constitute a precedent (see also page 327), we must now keep things well in perspective and, after the initial shock and distressing scenes, reflect upon the events and circumstances which led up to this very exceptional Conference to try and make a first objective assessment. The outcome of the Twenty-fifth Confer­ ence is neither as good as could be hoped. nor as bad as could be feared. * * * For the first time since 1925, the International Conference met in Geneva. The city of Henry Dunant and the cradle of the Red Cross Movement, Geneva is also the European seat of the United Nations. The combination of these two factors is one of the reasons why this particular Conference was far more critical to handle than the pre­ vious ones. Most of the government representatives were either members of the permanent missions in Geneva or diplomats sent by their respective capitals, and were therefore professionals in multila­ teral diplomacy. This resulted in particularly vigorous and intense debates on agenda items of particular concern to governments. For the first time in years, the International Conference of the Red Cross was thrust into a world ofpolitical realities, from which it had so far been relatively "shielded". 315 The question of apartheid and events in South Africa, which had received extensive coverage by the media in recent months, deeply influenced the course of the Conference. What had been a mere foreboding in early 1986 gradually became a certainty in September.­ the International Conference of the Red Cross was likely to have to face a motion by the African group to expel South Africa from the Conference. Solutions were envisaged, lines of action proposed and numerous steps taken by the Standing Commission of the International Red Cross, the ICRC and the League, as well as by Swiss diplomats and the African States. Intensive discussions were held in Geneva and in several capital cities. During the days that preceded the Conference, United Nations and International Red Cross circles in Geneva kept in constant touch, each trying to find a solution acceptable to all and anxious to prevent the Conference from foundering. Just before the opening of the Conference, the General Assembly of the League of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies had in fact scored a major victory in safeguarding the universality of the Move­ ment, by confirming the South African Red Cross Society's legitimate membership thereof, since the Society complies with the principles of humanity, impartiality and neutrality. Fortunately, this position was not challenged in any way by the International Conference.

Her concerns seemed less arcane, her presentation more appealingly worked out; as Guy Scarpetta put it in he Nouvel Observateur (May 19, 1980), she now intro- duced into "theoretical rigor an effective measure of seduction." Actually, no sudden change has taken place: the features that are noticeable in Powers of Horror were already in evidence in several earlier essays, some of which have been translated in Desire in Language (Columbia University Press, 1980).

I'd been in and around Munich during my very first visit to Europe back about1970, and even had a chance to play the old organ (since replaced) in Benediktbeuron. This was a revelation to a young student who had never before laid hands on an old keyboard, nor thought about how one must phrase and the tempos one must adopt when playing into a voluminous room with a lengthy acoustic decay.

They designed the theme and the program, vetted seminars and papers, organized the schedule and the program, and carried out the seemingly endless tasks involved in a conference of this size. We would like to thank Paul Gooch, president of Victoria University, and Domenico Pietropaolo, principal of St. Michael’s College, for their generous donation of rooms. Their enthusiasm for the conference made it possible. The bulk of the program organizing at the Toronto end (everything to do with the assignment of rooms and the accommodation of seminars—a massive task) was done by Myra Bloom, Ronald Ng, and Sarah O’Brien. The heroic job they performed required them to set aside their own research for a period. Alex Beecroft and Andy Anderson did the organizing at the ACLA end and always reassured us that this was possible. We would like to acknowledge the generosity of the Departments of Classics, English, Philosophy, Religion, the Centre for Medieval Studies, the Centre for Diaspora and Transnational Studies, and the Jackman Humanities Institute, all of which donated rooms; and the generous financial support accorded by the Faculty of Arts and Science, East Asian Studies, English, Philosophy, Medieval Studies, Classics, French, German, Diaspora and Transnational Studies (and Ato Quayson in particular), the Emilio Goggio Chair in Italian Studies, Spanish and Portuguese, and Slavic Studies.
