In 1859, a Swiss businessman named Henry Dunant traveled to Solferino, Italy, and witnessed the aftermath of a horrific battle. Nearly 40,000 wounded soldiers were left to die on the field. Horrified, Dunant organized local civilians to provide aid, regardless of which side the soldiers fought for. His experience led to the founding of the International Committee of the Red Cross in Geneva in 1863, and the first Geneva Convention in 1864. This episode explores how Swiss neutrality and humanitarian tradition made Geneva the natural home for the Red Cross, the role of the Swiss federal government in supporting the movement, and the legacy of the Red Cross in shaping international humanitarian law. We also discuss the controversial figure of Louis Appia, a Swiss surgeon who served on the battlefields, and the challenges the Red Cross faced during the two world wars. How did a small, neutral country become the guardian of global humanitarian norms?
