The keys to understanding the Red Cross flag, an international symbol

The Red Cross flag is a square badge with a white background and a red cross floating on it. It may be confused with the Swiss national flag but has the opposite colours of the Swiss federal colours.

The red cross that adorns the Red Cross flag is said to be in the shape of a Greek cross in heraldry, which can be represented by the sign of the addition + ( it is opposed to the cross of Saint Andrew in the form of x). This simple cross has branches that are all the same length and cross in the middle, and together form a square.

The three Red Cross emblems include the red cross, the red crescent and the red crystal. These three evocative symbols are signs of the protection that international law gives to the wounded, sick and carers during wars and armed conflicts.

In the laws of international warfare, they mean that soldiers, combatants or corps of armies of countries must not attack persons or places that display emblems such as the flag of the red cross. They are symbols of peace.

When seen floating in emergency situations, in time of war or following a natural disaster, these red international symbols on a white background mean that help will be provided and they also embody hope. They provide protection for both humanitarian and health workers on the ground as well as for the people benefiting from the assistance provided!
