27th International Conference of the Red Cross and Red Crescent - 1999



The 27th International Conference of the Red Cross and Red Crescent took place in Geneva from 31 October to 6 November 1999.

As well as being the culmination of the millennium, 1999 had special significance for the Movement, as the 50th anniversary of the Geneva Conventions was celebrated on 12 August. Thus the 27th International Conference was just one of the highlights of a year of reflection, communication and action, running from World Red Cross and Red Crescent Day on 8 May 1999 to World Red Cross and Red Crescent Day 2000.
