    Extractions: E-Mail This Page document.write("Print This Page"); New York City's prominence as the business, financial and communications capital of the nation and as the gateway to America has put continuing demands on the Red Cross in New York. Red Cross volunteers and supporters here have responded in the highest tradition, year after year. This is the story of the Red Cross in New York, and how it has played an important part in the history and growth of the American Red Cross, from the earliest days of the organization. The Birth of the Red Cross The American Red Cross in Greater New York is a part of an international humanitarian movement that has its roots in 19th century Europe. In 1862, A Swiss businessman, Henry Dunant (1828-1910), witnessed the Battle of Solferino in Italy, where scores of wounded were left on the battlefield without help. Realizing the need for a humanitarian organization, in 1863 he and others created the International Committee of the Red Cross. Its mission was to ensure protection to the wounded in time of war. Dunant was awarded the first Nobel Peace Prize in 1901. At about this time in the United States, Clara Barton (1821-1912), a government worker in Washington, helped care for the wounded on Civil War battlefields. She became known as the "Angel of the Battlefield." Later she went to Europe and learned of the Red Cross movement. Returning home, she worked to persuade the U.S. Senate to support the international Red Cross treaty in the face of governmental concerns about "entangling alliances." On May 21, 1881, Clara Barton organized the American Association of the Red Cross in Washington, D.C. Two years later it was renamed the American National Red Cross.

The work of the ICRC in both World Wars was recognized by the Nobel Prize for Peace in both 1917 and 1944. It shared another Nobel Peace Prize with the League of Red Cross Societies in 1963, the year of the 100th anniversary of the ICRC's founding. ¡¡¡¡The International Committee of the Red Cross was formed in response to the experiences of its founder, Jean-Henri Dunant, at the Battle of Solferino in 1859. Dunant witnessed thousands of wounded soldiers left to die for lack of adequate medical services. Soliciting help from neighbouring civilians, Dunant organized care for the soldiers. In 1862 he published an account of the situation at Solferino; by 1863 he had garnered so much support that the Geneva Society for Public Welfare helped found the International Committee for the Relief of the Wounded. In 1875 this organization became the International Committee of the Red Cross.

    Extractions: For his decades of untiring effort to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts, to advance democracy and human rights, and to promote economic and social development, former President Jimmy Carter has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for 2002. Jimmy Carter and his daughter, Amy, read the children's book he wrote, called "The Little Baby Snoogle-Fleejer." He wrote the book and his daughter did the illustrations. Announcing its selection of Carter as the 2002 Nobel peace laureatefrom a list of more than 150 candidatesthe Norwegian Nobel Committee said: "During his presidency (1977-1981), Carter's mediation was a vital contribution to the Camp David Accords between Israel and Egypt, in itself a great enough achievement to qualify for the Nobel Peace Prize. At a time when the Cold War between East and West was still predominant, he placed renewed emphasis on the place of human rights in international politics. "Through his Carter Center, which celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2002, Carter has since his presidency undertaken very extensive and persevering conflict resolution on several continents. He has shown outstanding commitment to human rights, and has served as an observer at countless elections all over the world. He has worked hard on many fronts to fight tropical diseases and to bring about growth and progress in developing countries. Carter has thus been active in several of the problem areas that have figured prominently in the over one hundred years of Peace Prize history.

    Extractions: To most people in the world the Emblems of the Red Cross and Red Crescent mean "Help" in some form or another. How did this Emblem become a beacon of hope to so many? Like other ideas that have greatly changed the world, it began with one man and his convictions. In 1859 Henry Dunant was a prosperous Swiss Businessman looking for investors. He hope to interest the French Emperor in a project, and followed him to the Italian town of Solferino, where the French were fighting the Austrians. After the battle Dunant was horrified to see that both sides left their dead, dying and wounded lying where they had fallen, without adequate care and attention. He did what he could to help, and organized the local people to nurse the injured. Haunted by his experience, he published an account of it in a book entitled " A Memoir of Solferino" in 1862. He stated his conviction that there could be Humanity In War, urged that the wounded on all sides should be treated and that volunteers be trained to help when normal medical services were overwhelmed. HUMANITY - the preservation of human life, health and dignity is the fundamental principal of the Movement. Dunatnt devoted the remainder of his life to spreading his message and died in 1910, a poor man. In 1901 he was awarded the First Nobel Peace Prize, and the movement he founded since won the prize 3 times.

    Extractions: sound loading takes a minute TOP Survive the Peace - a phrase that captures the essence of Canadian Red Cross landmines campaign and exists as a rallying call for Canadians to help end the landmines crisis. The theme Survive the Peace speaks to the irony that peace can be more dangerous for people returning to mined communities than war ever was. Evolution of a Movement: Landmines Must Be Stopped Everyday, doctors and nurses of the International Red Cross look into the frightened eyes of children, women and men whose limbs have been shattered by anti-personnel mines, sickened by the knowledge that they must perform yet one more amputation. Our physiotherapists look into the eyes of those who feel they have lost their dignity because they can no longer provide for their families. Far too often, humanitarian workers from Red Cross and from other organizations concerned with the landmine problem, such as Mines Advisory Group, United Nations, Handicap International, UNICEF, Halo Trust, see fertile farmland lie fallow while people go hungry. In 1994, having witnessed and worked to ease the extreme pain, suffering and vulnerability of landmine survivors, the International Red Cross/Red Crescent Movement launched a public appeal calling for a total ban on these indiscriminate weapons.

    Extractions: October 15, 1999 Doctors Without Borders has won the 1999 Nobel Peace Prize - considered by many to be one of the most important awards in the world. The volunteer organization - officially called by its French name, Medecins Sans Frontieres - helps provide medical assistance to people in need around the world. Many Canadian doctors and nurses have donated their time to help the sick and wounded in Africa, as well as war zones and disaster areas throughout the world. "I'm thinking of all the people who died without aid, of all those who died waiting for someone to knock on their door," says Bernard Kouchner. Kouchner was one of 10 idealistic French doctors who formed the group in 1971 because of their growing frustration at the quiet neutrality of the International Committee of the Red Cross. Doctors Without Borders "has adhered to the principle that all disaster victims, whether the disaster is natural or human in origin, have a right to professional assistance given as quickly and as efficiently as possible," the Norwegian Nobel committee said in announcing the award. Doctors Without Borders has more than 2,000 medical professionals working in 80 countries. They believe in the "right to intervene" (or get involved) regardless of international policy toward a government.
