2019年5月8日是世界红十字日。世界红十字日是什么来历呢?它的英文怎么说?
世界红十字日的全称为世界红十字与红新月日,英文是World Red Cross and Red Crescent Day。"红十字会与红新月会国际联合会"在世界多数国家使用白底红十字标志,称之为“红十字会”;一些伊斯兰国家使用白底红新月标志,称之为“红新月会”;此外白底红棱框的红水晶标志也是"红十字会与红新月会国际联合会"正式标志。各国红十字会与红新月会组成了红十字会与红新月会国际联合会(IFRC)。
World Red Cross and Red Crescent Day is an annual celebration of the principles of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. World Red Cross Red Crescent Day is celebrated on 8 May each year. This date is the anniversary of the birth of Henry Dunant, who was born on 8 May 1828. He was the founder of International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and the recipient of the first Nobel Peace Prize.
世界红十字日是每年为了纪念国际红十字和红新月运动而设定的纪念日,定于每年的5月8日。这一天同时是世界红十字会创始人、诺贝尔和平奖获得者亨利·杜南先生的生日(1828年5月8日)。1948年5月8日第一次庆祝世界红十字日,但官方日期一直在改变。直到1984年,世界红十字日定为“世界红十字与红新月日”。
The idea for an "annual action that could take hold in the whole world ... that would be a major contribution to peace" was introduced just after World War I and evolved out of the "Red Cross Truce", an initiative that was studied by an international commission established at the 14th International Conference of the Red Cross. Its results, presented to the 15th International Conference in Tokyo in 1934, was approved and having considered the principles of the truce, and its applicability across different regions of the world, the General Assembly of the International Federation of the Red Cross Societies (IFRC) asked the League of the Red Cross Societies (LORCS) to study the feasibility of adopting an annual International Red Cross Day. Two years later, the proposal was adopted and the first Red Cross Day was celebrated on 8 May 1948. The official title of the day has changed over time, and it became "World Red Cross and Red Crescent Day" in 1984.
