Extract
In 1948, the XVIIth International Conference of the Red Cross in Stockholm adopted a resolution (No. XXXI) recommending National Red Cross, Red Crescent and Red Lion and Sun Societies, as well as the ICRC and the League, to “include in their activities, should the necessity arise, legal and social assistance to stateless persons, refugees and war victims”. Since that time a number of National Societies have set up legal assistance departments and various activities undertaken by the ICRC and the League in Palestine, Hungary, Egypt and elsewhere have demonstrated the help which refugees have received and continue to receive from the International Red Cross.
