Dissemination of the Geneva Conventions: A teaching plan for secondary schools

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  13 January 2010

Extract

The XXIInd International Conference of the Red Cross, at Teheran last November, unanimously adopted Resolution No. XII calling upon governments and National Societies to intensify their efforts to disseminate the Geneva Conventions. It also requested the ICRC to support such efforts, inter alia by preparing information material and by advising National Societies in their plans for the dissemination of the Conventions and Red Cross principles. Consequently, the ICRC is now putting forward a teaching plan for secondary schools. The plan is based on the experience of the Austrian Red Cross, and we reproduce it hereunder.
