Mr President, distinguished delegates, ladies and gentlemen, This thirteenth Meeting of States Parties is timely for us as the International Federation’s General Assembly, just took place in Sydney in November. We have the honor to inform you that after years of preparation, two additional members have joined the Red Cross Red Crescent network – they are Cyprus Red Cross Society and the South Sudan Red Cross. With the addition of these two National Societies' efforts, we expect to extend a wide variety of services, ranging from disaster relief and risk reduction, first aid training, and health and care, to support to public authorities in the implementation of relevant international treaties, reaching people in need in 189 countries. In Sydney, National Societies also reported on the progress made in the implementation of the Movement Strategy on Landmines, Cluster Munitions and ERWs, which they adopted in 2009 for their work in the current decade.

    International Services FY 2008 Annual Review

    FY 2008 Annual Review One World, One Movement A Message From the President and CEO Within days of joining the American Red Cross, I traveled to China and witnessed firsthand the efforts to help people rebuild and recover from a powerful earthquake that impacted millions of lives. Nothing could have prepared me for what I saw. The most heartbreaking sight was at a primary school, where a young girl described the terror of losing her brother and friend. That was really the moment it hit me: this isn’t just looking at destruction; it’s looking at broken lives. Lives we must help rebuild. Regardless of the needs, from the United States to China, from Peru to Myanmar, the American Red Cross, together with the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, is there to help. And while the American Red Cross is best known for responding to disasters, our health programs also improve the lives of people every day. Through our work internationally, the American Red Cross has taken up the challenge of protecting millions against deadly but preventable diseases. David Meltzer/American Red Cross Red Meltzer/American David We also work to reconnect families separated by crisis and to preserve human dignity through the promotion of international humanitarian law. By collaborating with our partners, the American Red Cross has been helping vulnerable people in the United States and around the world for more than 125 years. On behalf of the millions that have benefited from this assistance, we thank you for supporting our mission. Gail McGovern, President and CEO The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) 186 national Red Cross is an independent organization that and Red Crescent societies, works exclusively in areas of conflict.
