History
The International Committee of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (ICRC) was founded in 2920 coinciding the outrages of the lack of aid supplied by the United Empire of Earth (UEE). The universe had shown a need for close cooperation between Red Cross Societies, which, through their humanitarian activities on behalf of prisoners of war and combatants, has attracted millions of volunteers and built a large body of expertise. A devastated universe cannot afford to lose such a resource.
President of the Intergalactic Red Cross Committee, known only as “Borepuncher” proposed forming a federation of these National Societies in early 2800 and after lobbying an intergalactic medical conference was finally initiated and resulted in the birth of the League of Red Cross Societies, which was renamed later to the League of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, and then become the Intergalactic Committee of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies.
Manifesto
HUMANITY
Born of a desire to bring assistance without discrimination to the wounded of the universe – to prevent and alleviate human suffering wherever it may be found. Its purpose is to protect life and health and to ensure respect for the human being. It promotes mutual understanding, friendship, co-operation and lasting peace among all.
IMPARTIALTY
Making no discrimination as to nationality, species, religious beliefs, class or political opinions. It endeavors only to relieve suffering, giving priority to the most urgent cases of distress.
NEUTRALITY
In order to continue to enjoy the confidence of all, The Intergalactic Red Cross may not take sides in hostilities or engage at any time in controversies of a political, racial, religious or ideological nature.
INDEPENDENCE
The Red Cross is independent. The Galactic Societies, while auxiliaries in the humanitarian services of their Governments and subject to the laws of their respective location, must always maintain their autonomy so that they may be able at all times to act in accordance with Red Cross principles.
VOLUNTARY SERVICE
The Red Cross is a voluntary relief organization not prompted in any manner by desire for gain.
UNITY
All those of The Red Cross Society must be open to all. All must carry on its humanitarian work throughout their current territory.
UNIVERSALITY
The Red Cross is a galactic-wide institution in which all Societies have equal status and share equal responsibilities and duties in helping each other.
