humanitarian Switzerland

Henry Dunant was a Swiss humanitarian and social activist best known for founding the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in 1863. His experiences during the Battle of Solferino in 1859 inspired him to advocate for the humane treatment of wounded soldiers and the establishment of a neutral organization dedicated to providing aid in times of war. Dunant's vision laid the groundwork for modern humanitarian law and earned him the first Nobel Peace Prize in 1901.
