The Torstein Dale Prize, founded by the Norwegian Red Cross in 1975 in memory of its former President, for persons who have made a conspicuous contribution to the humanitarian work and fundamental ideas of the Red Cross, was awarded to Mr. Jean Pictet, Vice-President of the ICRC and Director of the Henry Dunant Institute. The distinction, a bronze dove, was presented to Mr. Pictet by the Norwegian Red Cross President, Mr. Hans Hoegh, at a ceremony which took place last May in Oslo.
