Fundamental Principles
Proclaimed in Vienna in 1965, the seven Fundamental Principles bond together the National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, The International Committee of the Red Cross and the International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies. They guarantee the continuity of the Red Cross Red Crescent Movement and its humanitarian work.
The icons you can see here originate from an internal competition held within the GRC. They were designed for the GRC in 2015 on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the adoption of the Fundamental Principles and, in contrast to the text, are not stipulated by the statutes of the movement.
