The Red Shield (formally the International Red Shield Movement) is a non-governmental organization based in Hexagonia City, Tigeria and was founded to protect human life and health, ensure respect for all human beings, and alleviate human suffering. It was established in the middle of the nineteenth century with the aim of providing humanitarian aid to wounded soldiers on battlefields around the world. Since its founding, the powers of the Red Shield have been expanded several times by the Cap Amistade Accords, influencing and being influenced by various developments of international humanitarian law around the world.
The Red Shield Movement consists of several organizations united under common principles, objectives, emblems, and operations. These organizations are the following:
- The International Committee of the Red Shield has unique authority under the Cap Amistade Accords to protect the lives and dignities of victims in international and internal armed conflicts.
- The International Network of Red Shield Societies coordinates activities among the National Red Shield Societies to lead operations providing relief assistance to areas impacted by major humanitarian and natural disasters around the world.
- The National Red Shield Societies work within their home countries in accordance with international humanitarian law as well as the laws of their home countries. They often provide additional humanitarian services not mandated under international humanitarian law or by the international movement. The National Red Shield Societies usually coordinate with their home nation's local health systems to provide emergency medical services to various communities around their home nations.
