人道┃本运动的本意是要不加歧视地救护战地伤员。在国际和国内两方面，努力防止并减轻人们的痛苦，不论这种痛苦发生在什么地方。本运动的宗旨是保护人的生命和健康；保障人类尊严；促进人与人之间的相互 了解、友谊和合作；促进持久和平。
Humanity The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, born of a desire to bring assistance without discrimination to the wounded on the battlefield, endeavours – in its international and national capacities – to prevent and alleviate suffering wherever it may be found. Its purpose is to protect life and health and to ensure respect for every human being. It promotes mutual understanding, friendship, cooperation and lasting peace amongst all peoples.
公正┃本运动不因国籍、种族、宗教信仰、阶级和政治见解而有所歧视，仅根据需要，努力减轻人们的疾苦，优先救济困难最紧迫的人。

中立┃为了继续得到所有人的信任，本运动在冲突双方之间不采取立场，任何时候也不参与带有政治、种族、 宗教或意识形态的争论。
