The aims of the Red Cross Movement range from helping the victims of armed conflicts and natural disasters to running first aid courses in the local community. This book looks at the history and structure of the Red Cross and examines its values and activities. It assesses the impact of the Movement's international work in a number of areas and describes the challenges it faces in the future.
The global organisations at the centre of the 'World Watch' books are attempting to confront critical quality-of-life issues for all of humanity, not just the privileged minority. They raise awareness and challenge complacency, fight for causes and influence the decisions and actions of politicians and industrialists. The books provide an insight into the aims and methods of each organisation and discuss the complex problems each is trying to address.
