Red Cross (ICRC) - 02/06

Last Monday, after getting about 4 hours of sleep due to the Super Bowl, we went to the ICRC - International Committee of the Red Cross.  Located across the street from the UN in Geneva, the ICRC building houses offices as well as a library that is open to public use.  We sat through a quick movie about the scope of the Red Cross - it was very interesting, I didn't know the Red Cross did so many things.  After that, we listened to a talk about being a mediator and then about Humanitarian Law.  The topics were highly interesting but it was quite a struggle to stay awake after the little sleep from the night before.
