Four Nobel Peace Prizes
The four Nobel Peace Prizes awarded to the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, are a world recognition of its activities, its principles and guiding ideals.
The First Nobel Peace Prize, 1901, was awarded to Henry Dunant, the founder of the Red Cross, who devoted his life to humanity and to alleviating human suffering. The International Committee of the Red Cross received three times the Nobel Peace Prize, i.e. in 1917 and 1944, in recognition of its humanitarian activities during the two world wars, and again in 1963, together with the League (now International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies) on the occasion of the centenary of the Movement.
