举办本次展览的原因

The exhibition portrays humanitarian communication today and since the inception of the Red Cross as much as it does action and history.

本次展览提供了一次有意义的人道交流机会，展现了红十字运动创立至今的历史及其所开展的工作。

The media have been involved from the outset, and were recognized by the first Red Cross officials as a key means of making the organization and its fields of activity known.

从一开始，媒体就与其发展息息相关，媒体的作用得到了红十字国际委员会首任主席的认可，被看作是使该组织及其一线活动广为人知的重要途径。

“Today we know what is happening every day everywhere in the world. Information on the most insignificant act of war spreads like lightening […]”.

“如今，我们知晓世界各地每天发生的事情。即使是最无关紧要的战争举动都会像闪电一般地传播开来……”

Gustave Moynier (ICRC President from 1864 to 1910) who wrote those words in 1899, was already aware of the huge importance that cooperation between the media and the humanitarian world would acquire.

这是古斯塔夫•穆瓦尼耶（1864年至1910年红十字国际委员会主席）在1899年写下的一段话，那时他已经意识到媒体和人道界合作的重要性。

An overview of the roughly 150 years of ICRC photo archives brings to light five main stages which have co-existed since their successive appearance (see next pages).

回顾红十字国际委员会150年间的照片档案，可以将其分为以下五个主要场景，这些场景自相继出现之后就一直并存。
