The Twenty-fifth International Conference of the Red Cross, held in Geneva in October 1986, revised the 1952 Statutes of the International Red Cross, most of whose provisions dated back to 1928. The Conference thus adopted two drafts which had been submitted for its consideration, respectively entitled “Statutes of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement” and “Rules of Procedure” of the Movement.
page 154 note 1 The International Red Cross comprises the National Red Cross Societies, the International Committee of the Red Cross and the League of Red Cross Societies. The term “National Red Cross Societies” includes the Red Crescent Societies.
page 155 note 1 The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement (the Movement) is also known as the International Red Cross. It comprises the National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (the National Societies), the International Committee of the Red Cross (the International Committee or the ICRC) and the League of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (the League).
page 157 note 2 In the present Statutes the expression “Geneva Conventions” also covers their Additional Protocols for the States Parties to these Protocols.
