10.05.23: The topic of the school lesson is the International Committee of the Red Cross

The lesson dedicated to the 160th anniversary of the establishment of the International Committee of the Red Cross was held at secondary school No. 29 in Dashoguz. It was conducted by volunteers of the velayat branch of the National Red Crescent society.

The students learned that the International Red Committee was founded in 1863 and today works all over the world. It is an impartial, neutral and independent organization whose goals and objectives are exclusively humanitarian in nature - to protect the life and dignity of people, to provide assistance to them.

The volunteers then showed the students videos about the history of the Movement and its founder, the humanist Henri Dunant, who became the first Nobel World Prize winner in 1901.

THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES

– Humanity

The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, born of a desire to bring assistance
without discrimination to the wounded on the battlefield, endeavours, in its international and
national capacity, to prevent and alleviate human suffering wherever it may be found. Its purpose
is to protect life and health and to ensure respect for the human being. It promotes mutual
understanding, friendship, cooperation and lasting peace amongst all peoples.

– Impartiality

It makes no discrimination as to nationality, race, religious beliefs, class or political opinions. It
endeavors to relieve the suffering of individuals, being guided solely by their needs, and to give
priority to the most urgent cases of distress.

– Neutrality

In order to continue to enjoy the confidence of all, the Movement may not take sides in hostilities or
engage at any time in controversies of a political, racial, religious or ideological nature.

– Independence

The Movement is independent. The National Societies, while auxiliaries in the humanitarian services
of their governments and subject to the laws of their respective countries, must always maintain
their autonomy so that they may be able at all times to act in accordance with the principles of the
Movement.

– Voluntary service

It is a voluntary relief movement not prompted in any manner by desire for gain.

– Unity

There can be only one Red Cross or one Red Crescent Society in any one country. It must be open
to all. It must carry on its humanitarian work throughout its territory.

– Universality

The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, in which all Societies have equal status
and share equal responsibilities and duties in helping each other, is worldwide.
