The ICRC has a hybrid nature. As a private association formed under the Swiss Civil Code, its existence is not in itself mandated by governments. And yet its functions and activities - to provide protection and assistance to victims of conflict – are mandated by the international community of States and are founded on international law, specifically the Geneva Conventions, which are among the most widely ratified treaties in the world.
The ICRC can only do its job of providing protection and assistance to conflict victims if its working principles of impartiality, independence and neutrality are respected.It i s through recognition of the ICRC's privileges and immunities that States and international organizations acknowledge their respect for those principles.Thus, in line with its international legal mandate, the ICRC's privileges and immunities are widely recognized by governments, by the United Nations and by other organizations. This means that the ICRC is not treated as a private entity or an NGO, but as an intergovernmental organization for the work it does under its international mandate.
All Red Cross/Red Crescent Societiesare formed in legislation, and as such,are not classified as a non-governmental organization (NGO). The Red Cross’ relationship with government is specific and distinct, in that a public authority (municipal, provincial or federal) may request action from the Red Cross.
