Abstract:
The emblems of the red cross and red crescent on a white ground have been used since the nineteenth century as universal symbols of assistance to victims of armed conflicts and natural disasters. While a detailed account of their long history is beyond the scope of this commentary, it is useful to recall some significant moments in an effort to understand the reasons behind the adoption on 8 December 2005 of an additional emblem - the red crystal.
