On providing a truly international perspective
Article Abstract:
The Red Cross need not be maligned in praising the medical help rendered by Doctors Without Borders/Doctors of the World. Like the two voluntary organizations, the Red Cross also operates through its hardworking volunteers. The Red Cross has not also remained silent and neutral about abuses, but has always sided with victims of brutalities. Such unwarranted comparison between humanitarian organizations would only serve to drive a wedge between and among them and encourage a spirit of trust and competition.
