What is in this manual?
This manual will give you an understanding of your role as a First Aider and will guide your decision making and actions during armed conflicts and in other situations of violence. It is not enough to be experienced in helping the sick and wounded; you must also understand the significance of the
distinctive emblems, the Fundamental Principles of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, and your rights and duties as a First Aider in armed conflict as laid down in the Geneva
Conventions and their Additional Protocols.
