The ICRC's primary mission is to help protect the lives and dignity of people affected by war and internal violence. The ICRC seeks to provide these affected people with assistance and prevent further suffering by promoting and strengthening international humanitarian law and universal humanitarian principles. With Canada's support, the ICRC's emergency operations aim to provide protection and assistance to populations affected by armed conflict and other situations of violence in some 80 countries.
