Important information
- Additional Info:The Seven Fundamental Principles of the International Red Cross Movement
Humanity: Born of a desire to bring assistance without discrimination to the wounded on the battlefield, we endeavor 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. We promote mutual understanding, friendship, cooperation, and lasting peace amongst all peoples.
Impartiality: The Red Cross makes no discrimination as to nationality, race, religious beliefs, class or political opinions. It seeks to relieve the suffering of individuals, and to give priority to the most urgent cases of distress.
Neutrality: In order to continue to enjoy the confidence of all, the 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 International Red Cross 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 to act in accordance with the principles of the Red Cross Movement.
Voluntary Service: The Red Cross is a voluntary relief movement not prompted in any manner by desire for gain.
Unity: There can be only one Red Cross, Red Crescent or Red Crystal Society in any one country. It must be open to all. It must carry out its humanitarian work throughout its territory.
Universality: The International Red Cross is a worldwide movement in which all societies have equal status and share equal responsibilities and duties in helping each other.
The American Red Cross, a humanitarian organization led by volunteers and guided by its Congressional Charter and the Fundamental Principles of the International Red Cross Movement, will provide relief to victims of disaster and help people prevent, prepare for, and respond to emergencies.
The American Red Cross Southern Arizona Chapter helps children and families prevent, prepare for, and respond to emergencies. Our chapter is comprised of 14 paid staff and 500 volunteer staff who serve a 5-county area, including Pima, Santa Cruz, Cochise, Graham and Greenlee Counties.
16 members serve on the board.
