About this statute

This preamble identifies Law 875 of 2004 and states that it regulates the use of the Red Cross and Red Crescent emblems and other emblems protected by the Geneva Conventions and their additional protocols. This provision states the law’s purpose and scope: it protects the Red Cross emblem, name, and term, related medical transport signs, and the mission and names of Red Cross and Red Crescent components, and it applies to related emblems and terms as well. The article says the protective emblem is used in armed conflict to visibly indicate protection, especially for medical personnel and medical units and transport. An indicative emblem must identify a person or thing linked to a component of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, and it must be small and carry the identifying legend of that component. The Red Cross emblem and the words “cruz roja” may be used only for the purposes set out in the 1949 Geneva Conventions and their additional Protocols.
