The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) is a neutral, independent and impartial humanitarian organization, mandated by States to provide protection and assistance with a view to relieving human suffering. The ICRC also endeavours to prevent suffering by promoting and strengthening humanitarian law and universal humanitarian principles. Established in 1863, the ICRC is at the origin of the Geneva Conventions and the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement.Our presence in Malaysia can be traced to the 1940s. In 1973, we formalised our presence by setting up an office in Kuala Lumpur. Today, the ICRC Kuala Lumpur regional delegation oversees our activities in Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei Darussalam. With a team of almost 50 staff members, we work with our local partners in the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, i.e. the Malaysian Red Crescent Society (MRCS), Singapore Red Cross (SRCS) Brunei Darussalam Red Crescent Society (BRCS) to fulfil our mandate as the reference organization for IHL.
