红十字会(Red Cross)
正式名称为国际红十字和红新月运动（International Movement of the Red Cross and Red Crescent）
旧称国际红十字会（International Red Cross）
在世界范围内有盟国的国际人道主义机构。为了救护在战争中受伤的人员而建立，现在主要协助防止和减轻人类的磨难。该会出於杜南的提议，在所有国家建立一个自愿的救护组织的建议，最初成立於1864年。最初在1906年被鄂图曼帝国采用的红新月这一名称至今仍在穆斯林国家沿用。在和平时期，红十字会帮助遭受自然灾害袭击的人，保持血库供应并提供健康协助服务。在战争期间，它是交战双方之间的协调者，并参与伤兵营的救护工作，提供救助物资、邮递和与亲友保持联系的途径。其工作宗旨是人道、公正和中立。总部在日内瓦，单独的国家组织则开展社区计画并协调自然灾害救助资源。美国红十字会由巴顿成立於1881年，1900年首次获得政府特许令。它管理世界上最大的捐血服务。1901年，杜南获得了第一个诺贝尔奖，红十字会则在1917、1944和1963年获得该奖项。
English version：
Red Cross
formerlyInternational Red CrossHumanitarian agency with national affiliates worldwide. It was established for the care of victims of battle, but it now aids in the prevention and relief of human suffering generally. It arose out of the work of J.-H. Dunant, who proposed the formation of voluntary relief societies in all countries, the first of which came into being in 1864. The name Red Crescent, adopted in 1906 at the insistence of the Ottoman empire, is used in Muslim countries. In peacetime, the Red Cross aids victims of natural disasters, maintains blood banks, and provides supplementary health-care services. In wartime, it serves as an intermediary between belligerents and visits prisoner-of-war camps to provide relief supplies, mail, and information for and from their relatives. Its operating principles are humanity, impartiality, and neutrality. Its headquarters are in Geneva. Individual national organizations run community programs and coordinate natural-disaster relief efforts. The American Red Cross was founded by Clara Barton in 1881 and first chartered by Congress in 1900; it runs the world's largest donor blood service. In 1901 Dunant received the first Nobel Peace Prize, and the Red Cross itself received the prize in 1917, 1944, and 1963.
