Abstract

This article deals with the emergence of the largest international humanitarian movement and its structure. In other words, how Jean Henry Dunant´s idea of helping people in need, became a humanitarian organization in a minimum of time, that spread across all five continents and performs its activities, protected by international law and the Geneva Conventions 1-4, for more than 150 years. The structure of the Red Cross and Red Crescent organization is based on three partly structurally, independent elements: the International Red Cross and Red Crescent societies, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and the International Committee of the Red Cross.
