A new additional emblem for the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement.
24/04/2006 ::
The Diplomatic Conference held in Geneva 5-7 December 2005 adopted the 3rd additional protocol to the Geneva Conventions. This created a new additional emblem for the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. The additional emblem, known as the Red Crystal, will provide a comprehensive and lasting solution to the emblem question. It will appear as a red frame in the shape of a square on edge, on a white background, and is free from any religious, political or other connotation.
Norway played an active role in facilitating the solution at the Diplomatic Conference.
