THE FOUNDATION OF THE RED CROSS(1862-1863)
On his return to Geneva, Henry Dunant wrote "A Memory of Solferino", in which he proposed that the States should "formulate some international principle, sanctioned by a convention, inviolate in character, which, once approved and ratified, might serve as the basis for societies for the relief of the wounded". General Dufour, the jurist Moynier, Dunant and two doctors Appia and Maunoir established the International Committee for the relief to the wounded soldiers and drew up the First Geneva Convention. |
