Historical Âackground
The Cyprus Red Cross (C.R.C.) was founded in 1950 as a Branch of the British Red Cross. Following the establishment of the Republic of Cyprus and the accession of Cyprus to the Geneva Conventions, the Cyprus Red Cross was registered as a legal entity under Law 39 of 1967. Since the beginning it functioned on an island-wide scale with persons from all communities joining its ranks: Greeks, Turks, Armenians, Maronites, Latins, English and foreigners living in Cyprus.
