Dissemination of the Geneva Conventions: Australia – Austria
IN THE RED CROSS WORLD DISSEMINATION OF THE GENEVA CONVENTIONS AUSTRALIA To mark International Book Year, in 1972, the Australian Red Cross approached the authorities of the Commonwealth for financial assistance towards placing in each secondary school library a copy of three books on the work of the Red Cross and on international humanitarian law. It should be mentioned, incidentally, that the Commonwealth Government has pledged itself to give the widest possible publicity to the Geneva Conventions. The National Society has now received the funds it requested and has ordered from the ICRC 2,300 copies of the following publications: " The Principles of International Humanitarian Law ", by J. Pictet; a handbook published by the ICRC for the purpose of making the Conventions better known, and a booklet prepared by the Henry Dunant Institute giving an outline summary of the work of the Red Cross since its foundation. AUSTRIA The Junior Red Cross of Austria held a seminar on international humanitarian law on 1 and 2 December 1972. The seminar was conducted by Mr. Fritz Wendl, legal adviser of the Austrian Red Cross, with the co-operation of Mr. F. de Mulinen, ICRC head of division. The following subjects were dealt with in succession: inter- national humanitarian law in general, history of the Geneva Con- 36 IN THE RED CROSS WORLD ventions, organization of the Red Cross and, lastly, the 1949 Geneva Conventions. This was the initial stage in a campaign for the dissemination of the Conventions among youth at school, in the context of history teaching. The directorate of the Junior Red Cross assembled, in Vienna, representatives of teachers of history from all Austrian provinces. -
