’ CHAPTER ONE
p THE AMERICAN NATIONAL RED CROSS
' ' I. ORIGIN, AUTHORITY AND PURPOSE
The American National Red Cross is a permanent or-
, ganization, functioning actively and continuously, incor-
y  porated by Act of The Congress of the United States of
N America to carry out the purposes of the Treaty of
eq Geneva and certain other broadly defined duties.
; The Treaty of Geneva
, The Treaty of Geneva, a humanitarian agreement
among the governments of the nations of the world, was
» adopted by a diplomatic convention in Geneva, Switzer-
~ land, in 1864. It was signed at the time by the dele-
gates of ten of the governments represented. The United
, ` States declared its adherence to the Treaty in 1882. Today
52 nations are signatory to the agreement.
p The purpose of the Treaty, briefly stated, is to provide
for the amelioration of the condition of soldiers wounded
  upon the iield of battle, to neutralize and protect per-
L,  sons engaged in according relief to the sick and wounded,
` and to furnish supplies for these purposes.
._ _ An international conference in Geneva in 1863, which
· prepared the way for the Convention that wrote the
g Treaty, recommended "That there exist in every country
Q a committee whose mission consists in cooperating in
V   time of war with the hospital service of the armies."
  Red Cross Societies are organized in accordance with this
