The International Red Cross, founded in 1864 on the initiative of Henri Dunant (1828-1910) and managed exclusively by Swiss citizens, is dedicated to pursuing humanitarian aims on the international level (e.g. by the register of prisoners of war and missing persons which it has maintained since 1916). The various national organizations (Red Cross, Red Crescent, Red Lion, Red Sun) belong to the League of Red Cross societies, which is based in Geneva.
