Abstract
The twentieth anniversary of the end of hostilities in 1945 gave the Red Cross a welcome opportunity to recall the activities undertaken under its flag to allay sufferings caused by the greatest cataclysm which has yet affected the human race. The International Committee of the Red Cross which is called upon to assume heavy responsibilities in case of war wishes to put on record here some aspects of its action as neutral intermediary in favour of all the victims of the world conflict.
