The Council of Delegates followed the General assembly of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (20-22 November 2007) and preceded the 30th International Conference of the Red Cross and Red Crescent (26-30 November 2007).

Following the Convocation that was sent to members of the Council of Delegates on 31 May 2007, the official working documents of the Council of Delegates were released on 8 October 2007. These documents will enable members to familiarize themselves with all the subjects to be dealt with at the Council.

“Together for humanity” is the slogan that the Standing Commission has adopted for the Council of Delegates and the 30th International Conference. This slogan aims, in particular, to highlight the Movement's willingness to form partnerships in order to address the needs of the most vulnerable people. It will remain the guiding slogan of the Movement and all its statutory meetings over the next four years, including those convened by the International Federation.

The Council of Delegates adopted ten resolutions based on the background reports that were sent to members as official working documents on 8 October 2007.

The resolutions and background reports are also available in French, Spanish and Arabic.

National Societies have access to additional information through Fednet and on the website of the Standing Commission of the Red Cross and Red Crescent.

      Restoring family links – project bulletin No. 3
      Our relationships — with family and friends — play an essential role in defining our identities and provide us with a sense of security and stability. If they break down, important elements of our identity are lost and so is our primary source of support. The Restoring Family Links (RFL) Strategy for the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement puts these ties back at the heart of the Movement’s activities.
