Law

The Red Cross in Cyprus began to operate in 1950 (when the island was a British Colony) as a branch of the British Red Cross. After the establishment of the Republic of Cyprus, the Cyprus Red Cross Society (CRCS) was established as a body corporate pursuant to Law 39 of 1967 and was recognised as a Voluntary Aid Society auxiliary to the public authorities for humanitarian purposes.

The General Assembly of the CRCS at its extraordinary session on 14 September 2022 approved the revised CRCS Statutes.
