International Red Cross and Peace
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 January 2010
Extract
The subject I shall deal with is one that traditionally comes up for discussion, to the point of growing stale. Innumerable resolutions and recommendations on “Red Cross and Peace” have been voted by delegates to International Red Cross Conferences. One might even say that this type of recommendation, which of course is addressed to all responsible governments, has become a feature of every Red Cross gathering.
