Extract

It will be recalled that in August and September 1963 on the occasion of the Red Cross Centenary, conferences and seminars took place in Switzerland. The International Review analyzed the importance and significance of their results. Subsequently, it drew attention to the publications issued by the Centenary Commission of the Red Cross in Switzerland, as a result of these meetings, namely, the World Conference of Educators, the International Nursing Study Centre, and the International Red Cross Meeting of First Aiders.

The same Commission has now published a further book devoted to the work of the “Seminar on the Activity of the Red Cross on Behalf of the Victims of Armed Conflicts”. We believe our readers will be interested in this publication of which we give some extracts below. Let us first recall the significance of this seminar.
