Belgian "variant" flag
Under the header "Geneva Convention is the list of countries that were founding members. Belgium is one of them. This list mentions a variant of the Belgian flag, allegedly the "1858 version". This is false. Belgium has never changed its flag since its adoption in 1831. For more info and sources, check Flag of Belgium: "On 23 January 1831, the stripes changed from horizontal to vertical, and on 12 October, the flag attained its modern form, with the black placed at the hoist side of the flag.". No further changes have been made since. Takk (talk) 14:51, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
- The King of Belgium signed the convention, not a prime minister, nor any other governmental or parliamentary representative! Therefore the flag of Kingdom of Belgium is given (adopted 1850/8) which seems also to be the Government ensign of Belgium. -- ZH8000 (talk) 15:01, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
- I am sorry but that is simply not correct. Representatives of 12 states and kingdoms signed the convention (it is literally what the article says). It's not the King himself who signed it. The flag of the Kingdom of Belgium has since 1831 always been the same. Also, if you were to apply that logic, almost none of the flags currently listed are correct, as almost every King and/or Government has its own ensign. For example, the Netherlands had this Royal flag. The King of Spain uses this standard. Currently all the other flags in the list are the ones that were at that time the national flag, and the same should apply to Belgium. Takk (talk) 16:37, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

3 organizations
The intro states "Within it there are three distinct organisations that are legally independent from each other" but it wasn't actually obvious to me from the article what those 3 organizations were. This could be made more clear. -KaJunl (talk) 13:07, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
Image- legend
This image is embedded in the article:
There is no legend or key so I have no idea what the colors mean. Perhaps it is just because I am on mobile? But it would be better if this image were improved to have a key. -KaJunl (talk) 13:09, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
- If you click on the map, the legend will appear underneath the image as the image expands. 2A00:23C8:9883:2601:24D7:F3B:2187:A1CA (talk) 12:59, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
Removing Hamas-Isreal conflict part
I tempted to fully remove this extending and too extended part since it fully and unambiguously violates WP:NOTNEWS. Any votes? -- ZH8000 (talk) 18:18, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
Please retain important paragraphs on ICRC and Red Crescent in the Hamas-Israel conflict
The paragraphs contain carefully selected details on ICRC and Red Crescent efforts during the conflict. Because it is one of the largest military interventions after World War II for the ICRC, it is important to document it. No reason to delete these paragraphs. I also revised all the previous events a while ago and continued with the same neutral style. People are welcome to edit the text. 213.55.224.21 (talk) 21:52, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
