Country of Representation: Established in 1863, the ICRC operates worldwide, helping people affected by conflict and armed violence and promoting the laws that protect victims of war. An independent and neutral organization, its mandate stems essentially from the Geneva Conventions of 1949.

The ICRC is funded mainly by voluntary donations from governments and from National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies.
