    The document discusses the history and functions of the Red Cross and Red Crescent emblems. It explains that the Red Cross emblem is derived from the reverse of the Swiss flag and was never meant to have religious significance. It was later joined by the Red Crescent emblem used by the Ottoman Turks. The emblems are used to identify protected medical personnel and facilities and signal protection under international humanitarian law during conflicts to prevent attack. Grave misuse of the emblems is considered a war crime as it endangers aid workers and violates international law.
