Philippines: Fulfilling our humanitarian mission in 2023
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) was born out of a need to preserve the dignity of people whose lives have been altered by armed conflicts and other situations of violence. We stand up for people – whether civilians or combatants – to ensure that their rights and protections under the rules of war are upheld.
In around 100 countries including the Philippines, our goal is to protect vulnerable people while adhering to our fundamental principles—primarily that of humanity, but also neutrality, impartiality, independence—which we share with our Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement partners.
