An international humanitarian agency organized after the battle of Solferino (1859), concerned in peacetime with health and safety and in wartime with caring for wounded and the prevention and alleviation of human suffering generally. It has now a world-wide organization, based in Geneva, together with national societies. The first multilateral agreement on the Red Cross, the Geneva Convention of 1964, committed signatory governments to care for wounded, both friend and foe, and this was later revised and extended to warfare at sea (1907), prisoners of war (1929), and civilians in wartime (1949).  2, fiche 1, Anglais, - International%20Red%20Cross
