The International Committee of the Red Cross (#ICRC) has been on the side of humanity for 160 years today.

Our story is about people affected by #conflict and #violence.

For the past 160 years we've fought to ensure that civilians and other war victims are protected through international humanitarian law (#IHL).

The ICRC has redesigned our international humanitarian law databases, to make the rules protecting people in time of war easier to find and understand.
