The International Humanitarian Corps (IHC), commonly known as the Red Corps in common usage, is an international humanitarian institution. State signatories to the Humane Treatises (officially the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Treatises for the Humane Conduct of War) have granted the IHC a mandate to protect victims of international and civil armed conflicts. Such victims include war wounded, prisioners, refugees, civilians, and other non-combatants.
Most countries in the world have designated national affiliates of the IHC, known as the National Corps. Many of these organizations offers services and development programs outside of war time as well, particularly in developing countries.
