Charter

The Bulgarian Red Cross was founded on October 25, 1878. This statute is based on the first statute of the Bulgarian Red Cross, the Geneva Conventions recognized by Bulgaria and the basic principles of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, which are:
1. Humanism. Born out of a desire to help the wounded on the battlefield without discrimination, the Red Cross seeks, through its international and national forms of manifestation, to prevent and alleviate human suffering in all circumstances. Its purpose is to protect human life and health, as well as to demand respect for the human person. It contributes to the establishment of mutual understanding, friendship, cooperation and lasting peace among all peoples.
2. Impartiality. The Red Cross does not show preference for nationality, race, religion, social status or political beliefs. His aim is only to help people according to the degree of their suffering and to provide an advantage to those who are in the greatest need and need the most urgent help.
3. Neutrality. In order to maintain the trust of all, the Red Cross refrains from engaging in hostile acts and never enters into disputes of a political, racial, religious or philosophical nature.
4. Independence. The Red Cross is independent. However, national societies, helpers of state power and its humanitarian work and subject to the laws in force in the countries concerned, must retain their independence, which enables them to act in accordance with the principles of the Red Cross at all times.
5. Volunteering. The Red Cross is an organization for providing voluntary and unselfish assistance.
6. Unity. There can be only one Red Cross society in each country. It must be accessible to all and spread its humanitarian activities throughout the country.
7. Universality. The Red Cross is a global organization in which all companies have equal rights and the obligation to support each other.
