  • Evidence of Principles in Action from Red Cross and Red Crescent National Societies Amelia B
    International Review of the Red Cross (2016), 97 (897/898), 211–233. Principles guiding humanitarian action doi:10.1017/S1816383115000582 Walking the walk: Evidence of Principles in Action from Red Cross and Red Crescent National Societies Amelia B. Kyazze Amelia B. Kyazze is Senior Humanitarian Policy Adviser at the British Red Cross. She has worked for the Red Cross Movement and NGOs since 1997, when she was first deployed to Albania and Kosovo. Abstract Using evidence from nine different National Societies, this essay illustrates how the Fundamental Principles of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement are practically applied in today’s diverse contexts. The research has found that the Principles are not just abstract concepts but are in fact practical tools for initiating and implementing a range of programmes, particularly in difficult situations. The Fundamental Principles are useful for increasing access in both conflict and peaceful situations. Strong leadership is an important factor to ensure that the Principles are applied, particularly when neutrality is challenged. Lastly, all seven Principles work together and give additional strength to programmes when working as part of the Movement. Keywords: Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, Fundamental Principles, National Societies, application of the Principles, volunteers, leadership. © icrc 2015 211 A. B. Kyazze Impartiality means you have to listen and observe, without making judgements. You don’t have to give advice or try to change people. I use this a lot.1 The extremists here don’t accept humanity, the principle of humanity.2 The Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement (the Movement) is made up of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), the International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) and, at the time of writing, 189 National Societies.

  • Red Cross | International Encyclopedia of the First World War
    Version 1.0 | Last updated 10 April 2018 Red Cross By Cédric Cotter National Red Cross societies played a very important role in the First World War. They supported armies’ medical services, brought relief to prisoners of war and sometimes organized their repatriation, and helped the civilian populations. Despite the universal ideal of an independent, neutral, and impartial Red Cross Movement, the national societies were subordinated to their respective governments and integrated into the war effort, used a tool for the mobilization of minds as well as for the promotion of their countries abroad. Women were an important component of these societies, but despite their commitment, they did not accede to leading positions. Table of Contents 1 Introduction 2 Main Activities of the National Societies 2.1 Medical Care 2.2 Relief to Prisoners of War 2.3 Relief to Civilian Populations 2.4 Special Activities led by Neutral Societies 3 Interactions with States and other National Societies 3.1 Structure of the National Red Crosses and Relations with the Host Governments 3.2 Relations within the Movement 4 Red Cross and Society 4.1 A Tool for External Propaganda 4.2 A Tool for the Mobilization of Minds 4.3 The Role of Women 5 Conclusion $Red Cross - 1914-1918-Online 1/18 Notes Selected Bibliography Citation Introduction At the outbreak of the First World War, national societies of the Red Cross had been active for decades and had already proved their importance in many conflicts and natural disasters. The Great War, however, transformed them deeply. They played a predominant humanitarian role in which millions of people participated by making donations or volunteering.

It has a temperate climate and four distinct seasons strongly influenced by seasonal East Asian monsoons with more than half of annual rainfall in July and August. Summers are typically very humid, and winters are cold and dry. In 2020, the people in DPRK suffered from devastating natural disasters due to climate change. Climate change has caused more frequent heavy rains, floods and typhoonsthat have destroyed homes and many hectares of farmland. Climate change has also damaged forests and there has been an increased number of pest breakouts, further affecting agriculture and farming. Rising temperatures are also impacting upon the growth of crops and negatively affecting people’s health and the country’s freshwater ecosystems. Disease and nutrition are major health concerns in DPRK and the number of women dying in pregnancy or childbirth is high. Diarrhoea and pneumonia are the leading causes of death among children under five and essential health services for all people are limited.
