However, each of the Red Cross and Red Crescent organizations has common goals. The International Red Cross operates in war zones. National organizations often operate in areas affected by natural disasters. The International Red Cross was founded by a Swiss businessman named Jean Henri Dunant. He visited Italy in 1859. At that time, several Italian city governments were fighting for independence from the hands of the Austrians. Mr. Dunant witnessed one of the bloodiest battles. The horrors Mr. Dunant witnessed at that time prompted him to the idea of forming an organization that would alleviate the suffering of all in any war. The organization does not take sides in any conflict. In 1864, the International Red Cross held its first conference in Geveva, Switzerland.
Today the Swiss form the international commission of the Red Cross. This committee stands in the middle of all conflicts and protects the victims of war in accordance with the laws of the Geneva Conventions. The Convention is a series of treaties intended to provide medical treatment to soldiers and civilians who are sick or injured in times of war. These treaties were signed in Geneva, Switzerland between 1864 and 1949.
