Council of Delegates

 

 

The next Council of Delegates will be held from 17-18 November 2013 in Sydney, Australia. The two day meeting will bring together the ICRC, Red Cross and Red Crescent National Societies from 188 countries and the International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent. Participants will discuss how the Movement can best respond to pressing humanitarian challenges and the future path of the Movement. The event will be held under the theme “150 years of humanitarian action,” and a dialogue on this subject between the Movement components in the lead up to the CoD will enrich the debate in Sydney.

    Words of change: Statutory Meetings

    More than 2,000 people came to Geneva, Switzerland in November to help set the course for future humanitarian action during the Movement’s 2011 Statutory Meetings. Youth leaders, for example, used the occasion to push for a greater role in humanitarian decision-making, while the Movement and states agreed on several vital resolutions to enhance humanitarian access, protection of vulnerable people and delivery of aid.
