Extract

The World Campaign for the Protection of Victims of War reached its peak on World Red Cross and Red Crescent Day, 8 May 1991. This was the day when members of the Movement were invited to form a “chain of light” around the world as a reminder that the role of the Red Cross and Red Crescent is to “light the darkness” for all victims of war.
