Description
Small poster showing the three emblems of the Red Cross movement: 'Three symbols. One meaning. Protective emblems are vital in time of war. They identify protected persons and objects and assist such personnel in the carrying out of their humanitarian functions. Under international humanitarian law, people and property lawfully placed under the protection of the red cross, red crescent or red crystal must not be attacked under any circumstances. These emblems also signify neutrality and have no religious or political significance.'
