The link from Red Cross Movement leads to the article ICRC, which is incorrect, it should lead instead to International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. - Alsandro · T · w:ka: Th · T 00:51, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

I Disagree. It should lead to the ICRC - it said the movement "officially began when twelve European nations signed the First Geneva Convention", and the ICRC "has a unique authority based on the international humanitarian law of the Geneva Conventions to protect the victims of international and internal armed conflicts." —Mets501 (talk) 01:14, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

I hear what you're saying, but the blurb is about the founding of the Red Cross movement generally and the overview article is more correct, especially because they are often confused. The ICRC does not run the movement. It's an affiliated organization, not an umbrella. --Dhartung | Talk 16:44, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Exactly, the movement is represented by three independent "branches" not just ICRC. If annyversary item mentions "movement" than the link should lead to the movement article. - Alsandro · T · w:ka: Th · T 18:09, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
