These Regulations (hereinafter “the Regulations”) stipulate the various ways the emblem of the red cross or the red crescent on a white ground may be used by the National Societies, in keeping with the provisions of international humanitarian law and the Fundamental Principles of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement (hereinafter “the Movement”).
1 The United Nations Convention on road signs and signals adopted in Vienna on 8 November 1968, and the European agreement supplementing it, adopted in Geneva on 1 May 1971, include two road signs displaying the emblem:
(a) the sign “First-aid stations” (F, la), made up of the red cross or red crescent on a white ground, the whole framed by blue. As this is an indicative use of the emblem, the National Society shall request the authorities to use this sign to mark only aid stations run or authorized by it;
(b) the “hospital” sign (E, 12b), made up of a red cross or red crescent on a blue ground with a white bed. Since this is a misuse of the emblem, the National Society shall request the authorities to use the other “hospital” sign (E, 12a) only. This sign is also provided for in these agreements and is made up of the letter H in white on a blue ground.
2 See (1) Article 21.
