Abstract

Societies, international relief operations and the experiences gained during the war were the main topics held. Several reports and suggestions prepared by seven sub-committees were presented. The most important feature of the 10th Conference is that it gave a mandate to the National Societies and to the ICRC to assist victims of civil war and internal disturbances. A committee of four people had represented Turkey, and a member of the committee, Besim Omer Akalin had written down notes about the important points and framework of conference, and his expressions and thoughts. This study is aimed to present an important conference in the history of all Red Cross and Red Crescent institutions via the published notes of Besim Omer Akalin
