<p class="MsoNormal" style="vertical-align:baseline"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;letter-spacing:.75pt">To be recognized as a component of the Movement (by the ICRC), a National Society must be assessed to satisfy 10 Conditions of recognition
defined under Article 4 of the Statutes of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. The first of these Conditions is to be established on the territory of a High Contracting Party to the first Geneva Convention of 1949 – in the meaning of a State
which instruments of ratification, accession or succession to the first Geneva Convention have been registered by the Federal Council of the Swiss Confederation in its capacity as Depository of the 1949 Geneva Conventions.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="vertical-align:baseline"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;letter-spacing:.75pt">There are today 196 States party to the Geneva Conventions, which therefore leaves few States that have not established or recognized a National
