This broadcast quality footage is a compilation of recent images illustrating the work of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement
worldwide, namely the international Committee of the Red Cross, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and the 186 National Societies active in their respective
countries.
2009 is definitely an exciting year for all the components of the Red Cross Red Crescent Movement.
It is a time to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the battle of
Solferino, where Henry Dunant, one of the founders of the International Committee of the Red Cross, conceived the main ideas at the origin of the Movement.
It is also a time to celebrate
the 90th anniversary of the creation of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies.
Lastly, let's not forget that, 60 years ago, the international community of
states adopted the four Geneva Conventions, which afford protection to the most vulnerable people in times of war.
Through a global communication campaign, the ICRC, the International
Federation and the National Societies want to honour these milestones by highlighting the power of individuals to make a difference.
This campaign will be constructed around a clear call
for action – for individuals everywhere to reach out to help others – whether in their local communities or beyond.
The legacy of the battle of Solferino and Henry Dunant is
that each person can make a difference.
"All can, in one way or another, each in his own sphere and within his own limitations, do something to help the good work move
forward"
Henry Dunant, in A Memory of Solferino
