Here ...we would like to draw your attention to the seven fundamental principles which are essential
for a youth members .
The Seven Fundamental Principles
7 fundamental principles embody
the work of all Red Cross and Red Crescent staff and volunteers worldwide. Adopted in 1965, these principles define the scope
of their humanitarian work, and provide a basis for promoting the ideals and humanitarian values of the International Red
Cross and Red Crescent Movement.
Humanity
The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, born of a desire to bring assistance without discrimination
to the wounded on the battlefield, endeavors, in its international and national capacity, 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, cooperation and lasting peace amongst all peoples.
Impartiality
It makes no discrimination as to nationality, race,
religious beliefs, class or political opinions. It endeavors to relieve the suffering of individuals, being guided solely
by their needs, and to give priority to the most urgent cases of distress.
Neutrality
In order to continue to enjoy the confidence of all,
the Movement may not take sides in hostilities or engage at any time in controversies of a political, racial, religious or
ideological nature.
Independence
The Movement
is independent. The National Societies, while auxiliaries in the humanitarian services of their governments and subject to
the laws of their respective countries, must always maintain their autonomy so that they may be able at all times to act in
accordance with the principles of the Movement.
Voluntary service
It is a voluntary relief movement not prompted in any manner by desire for gain.
Unity
There can be only one Red Cross or one Red Crescent
Society in any one country. It must be open to all. It must carry on its humanitarian work throughout its territory.
Universality
The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement,
in which all Societies have equal status and share equal responsibilities and duties in helping each other, is worldwide.
