红十字国际委员会东亚地区代表处

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), a globally operating humanitarian organization, offers aid to individuals impacted by warfare and armed conflicts. It acts promptly during emergencies and advocates for adherence to international humanitarian law. As an impartial and autonomous entity, its authority originates primarily from the 1949 Geneva Conventions. Collaboration with National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, along with their International Federation, enables the ICRC to provide a cohesive, strategic, and swift humanitarian response to conflict victims or those experiencing internal strife. This includes directing and coordinating international efforts in such scenarios.

The ICRC's Regional Delegation in East Asia oversees operations in China, North Korea, South Korea, and Mongolia. Its core function involves enhancing understanding and enforcement of international humanitarian law - the regulatory framework aimed at mitigating war-induced suffering. The delegation further strives to educate governments, specialists, national Red Cross societies, and civil society on the ICRC's global humanitarian efforts and emergency responses.
