Missions of Red Cross
The exclusively humanitarian or Primary
mission is to protect the lives and dignity of
victims of natural disasters and violence while
providing them adequate supports (icrc.org.,
2018).
The Secondary mission is to provide high
quality and effective procurement services to all
members of the Red Cross community and Red
Crescent Movement across the globe.
More than just global
communityThe several Conventions and Additional
Protocol I allows the Red Cross community to
support victims of natural disaster (Lopičić–Jančić,
2012). This is the direct contribution of this
community to the social care, which represents
that Red cross more than just a global community.
This community is more dedicated towards
the human rights and humanitarian activities
through crossing the international barrier or legal
policies. Even in intercalation or non-international
armed conflicts, the ICRC has the rights to take
humanitarian action through international Red
Cross community (Hutchinson, 2018).
