RED CROSS MARKS
EIGHTY-FIRST YEAR
|
{
|
|
|
|
|
The Cambria County Chapter of |
| the American Red Cross last week [
celebrated the 81st anniversary of |
the signing of the Geneva treaty |
which gave the Red Cross the sup-
pert and protection of internation-
al law, it was announced by EP
Blough, chapter chairman.
“The fundamental concept
| the Red Cross has never been al-
tered since that memorable Aug.
{22 1864, 'Mr. Blough said. “Just
| two years after Henri Durant had
written his ‘Un Souvenir’ based on
the horrors he had seen at the bat-
tle of Solferino in 1859, and out-
| lined a plan of humanitarian or-
ganization throughout the world,
he and his friends saw their idea
| incarnated in the Geneva Confer-
| ence.
| “Here was the beginning of a
| trend which has been known and
| felt by millions of peopel through-
| out the world,” he said. ‘Particu-
of
Os
larly we, whose sons and sweet-
hearts, sisters, brothers and dau-
ghters are overseas, know, from
their letters and notes, what this
‘bit of home abroad’ means to the
lonely, the sick and wounded.”
Although the Geneva treaty was
revised in 1906 and in 1929, the
essentials were contained in the
original draft. They are:
First: All establishments
diers, and the personnel
to them, are immune from capture
and from acts of destruction other |
than admissible under the rules of |
warfare.
Second: This special protection
also covers such voluntary aid as
may be performed by the civilian |
population in favor of the wound-
ed.
Third: Sick and wounded sol-
diers are received and treated with-
out regard to the side upon which
they have fought.
Fourth: A heraldic emblem, the |
red cross in a white field, is crea-
ted for the distinguishing sign of
hospitals, ambulances, transports,
of wounded, and the personnel pro-
tected under the terms of the ag-
reement.
In the year of its inauguration |
nine
states of the thirteen represented.
By 1867, all the then great powers |
had followed suit with the excep- |
tion of the United States which |
the treaty was ratified by
did not adhere until fifteen years
later. Since then all the world
governments, with the exception
of Japan, have become signotor-
ies.
