The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement (the Movement) has been selected as the recipient of the 2024 Sydney Peace Prize, for courageous and highly regarded humanitarian work that serves our common humanity.
In a year marking the 75th anniversary of the adoption of the 1949 Geneva Conventions, and amid unprecedented challenges to respect for international humanitarian law, the work of the global Movement is as important as it has ever been.
The Peace Prize was presented by the Lord Mayor of Sydney, Clover Moore AO to Mr Jagan Chapagain, CEO and Secretary General of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies on November 18.
The ceremony was held at the Sydney Town Hall.
