Resolutions of International Red Cross Conferences and their implementation by the National Societies

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  13 January 2010

Extract

Two ideas generally current in the Red Cross on the question of implementation, by the National Societies, of the resolutions adopted during the International Red Cross Conferences are:

1. the resolutions are not binding;

2. the National Societies apply the resolutions voluntarily and in a satisfactory way.

Our purpose here is to examine the exactitude of these two opinions.
