Two ideas generally current in the Red Cross on the question of implementation, by the National Societies, of the resolutions adopted during the International Red Cross Conferences are:
1. the resolutions are not binding;
2. the National Societies apply the resolutions voluntarily and in a satisfactory way.
Our purpose here is to examine the exactitude of these two opinions.
