Tenth red crossKnowledge contestOn august 12th, the answer to the question was officially online, allowing access to the english-language database of the north great fabo, valued at up to $6,000. Do not think that this is just a random response, behind which the international committee of the red cross has contributed to the dissemination and universalization of international humanitarian law throughout 20 years in china。
China's law on humanism has been in place for 20 years
The international committee of the red cross (icrc) east asia regional representation was established in beijing in 2005 and is now almost 20 years old. Over the past 20 years, the representative office has been in constant contact with the red cross at all levels, with higher education institutions and with medical institutions. The basic rules of international humanitarian law have been given a little bit to the chinese public. From the protection of civilians in times of war to the principle of medical neutrality, the scope of the study has become wider, ranging from millions to tens of thousands of people involved in related activities。
In september 2024, china joined five other countries in launching the global initiative on international humanitarian law with the international committee of the red cross to promote political commitment to humanitarian law. This is an indication of china's increasing weight in global humanitarian governance, which is no longer merely a rule learner, and is beginning to engage in advocacy and implementation, a natural result accumulated over 20 years。
The global initiative has transformed china from a learner to a promoter
The global initiative on international humanitarian law is finished without signing a document. It called on signatories to incorporate international humanitarian law into domestic legislation, train judges and military personnel, and guarantee the protected status of the red cross and red crescent emblems. China's leading participation means that the teaching of humanitarian law, judicial practice and law enforcement training in the country will be accelerated and the content of the relevant courses may need to be updated。
The impact on ordinary people is actually direct. How civilians are protected in armed conflicts, how prisoners of war are treated, why medical facilities cannot be beaten, rules that used to feel 18,000 miles away. Now daily news in gaza and ukraine, humanitarian law was no longer a cold text in books, but tied to specific people and specific cities。
Registration time and rules for the tenth competition
The response window was from 12 august to 11 september 2025 and the results were published on 17 september and the prizes were sent within four weeks of their publication. The competition was open to society as a whole, but the subjects and the staff of the international committee of the red cross were not able to participate and the answers were not valid. One more detail is noted: a device can only be answered once, it must be checked before the paper is delivered, and not half of the slip point is submitted。
The topics covered the fundamentals of the red cross and red crescent movement, the important actions of the red cross, the activities of the east asian representative office and the basic rules of the geneva conventions. The review is available on the red cross network of officials, microblogging and twitter, and it takes two nights to flip over, without the need for specialized newspapers。
We'll see what the first prize can do
First prize 1: six months of access to the north farva english-language database (market value $6,000), the internet charge card of $1,000, a collection of humanitarian photography in combat, advanced shoulder backpacks, a warmth cup, the crc 20th anniversary package and award certificates. Three second-class prizes, four months for database access and $500 for an online card. Ten third prizes with three months of competence, $200 for the internet card, plus key buttons and memorial kits。
There are also 30 participating awards, the prize being notebooks, which are generated by drawings, with an opportunity to submit a response. For students and academics in the legal profession, the database rights of the great farbo north and the knowledge network are a practical tool, not a souvenir set for printing a logo, and indeed have enough gold, which is why the most expensive database privileges are included in the first prize。
Six agencies came together to answer questions
The competition was launched by the international committee of the red cross (icrc) in collaboration with xinhua network, xinjiang weibo weiwei, the international college of the red cross, the international law school of the chinese university of political science and law, the farbo north and the chinese sensei network. The date of 12 august coincided with the anniversary of the adoption of the geneva conventions, when the election was launched, with a sense of ritualism and topic, and with a greater impact than usual。
Since 2016, the human star has been the tenth. The number of respondents ranged from students in higher education to red cross staff at all levels, to medical personnel at all levels. The fact that nine years of continuous operation had shown that domestic interest in humanitarian law and the red cross movement had indeed continued to grow, not to become a reality。
The gaza ceasefire is still short of the last. Gas
The international committee of the red cross (icrc) launched an appeal at the same time as the competition: the parties in gaza must conclude a ceasefire agreement as soon as possible to create the most basic conditions for humanitarian action. There is currently no access to relief supplies, hospitals are still in operation, there is a shortage of medicines and equipment, civilians and the wounded do not receive the most basic medical protection, and the opening of humanitarian corridors has become a bottleneck。
Focusing on gaza is more than just eating melons. Humanitarian law makes it clear that humanitarian assistance must be allowed into the conflict, that medical personnel and facilities must be protected and that civilian evacuation routes must be secured. Whether or not those rules actually land is directly related to the survival of everyone living in gaza, and is also the front-line for the international community to test the implementation of humanitarian law。
How many questions do you think you can answer? After that, we would welcome a conversation in the comment area about the most problematic subject, and would like to point out a compliment or forward it to a friend of the law and help them get the $6,000 database access。
