The ICRC ensures humanitarian protection and aid for those affected by war independently and neutrally, and promotes and develops international humanitarian law. It responds to emergencies and works to implement humanitarian law in national legal systems while also administering funds to support its staff and recognizing individuals who contribute to its mission.
