Mexican Red Cross: The Protocols additional to the 1949 Geneva Conventions in relation to Mexico

Extract

On the occasion of the coming celebration of the tenth anniversary of the Protocols additional to the Geneva Conventions of 12 August 1949, the editor of the International Review of the Red Cross has very kindly invited the Mexican Red Cross to prepare an article on this event, bringing out the importance of these legal instruments for the Society, the measures it has taken to promote the dissemination of the Protocols and, perhaps more important, the work done by the National Society in favour of their ratification.
