[edit] "Field delegates"

Reading the first sentence of the article, I have no idea what a "field delegate" is, or why the ICRC would have one. Could this be linked to an appropriate article? (If there isn't currently an appropriate article, but "field delegate" is a commonly-used term, then linking to field delegate would be fine; I just don't know where to link to, since I don't know what one is.) -- Creidieki 02:32, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

Within ICRC (or Red Cross in general) terminology, "field delegate" is a rather commonly-used term. A field delegate works for the ICRC as kind of a generalist on a mission abroad ("in the field" as opposed to a bureau job at the HQ in Geneva). Often, simply the term "delegate" is used instead.

We have also prepared a reworking of the red cross movement article from the German Wikipedia that should explain how the various red cross organizations work and what an ICRC delegate is. We can link to a section or create new articles as well. (The multilayered organization of the red cross is rather confusing) <hey uwe...> Tfine80 02:49, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
