The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) was founded in
1863 and is often considered the gold standard in humanitarian
action. Despite its many positive achievements over more than 150
years, some former ICRC officials believe that the organization is
now in decline because of a series of recent policy choices. Their
view is that the organization has undermined its reputation for
independent and neutral humanitarian action, while growing too fast
and too large, which has weakened its reputation for quick, tightly
focused, and effective action in the field. David P. Forsythe
revisits the ICRC policy decisions of recent decades and suggests
that the organization is not in fatal decline, but that it does
need to reconsider some of its policies at the margins. Though some
errors have been made and some corrections are in order, Forsythe
argues that its obituary is premature.
