The Hon. Fabio Porta and 'spoke in the House debate on the ratification by the Italian Parliament, the Geneva Protocol, which introduces a new symbol next to those already' in existence.
"The Protocol - said in his speech the Hon. Porta - recognizes an additional emblem that will represent ', like the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, their International Movement, the adoption of This new "symbol" (a red box resting on a tip, called the "red crystal") and 'the fruit of a long discussion arose from the need to create a universally accepted and recognized symbol but at the same time not due to any other symbol religious or political, differently from what happens o 'the case for the two symbols' known'
"The" red crystal "- explained the deputy of the Democratic Party - not replace ', however, the Red Cross or Red Crescent, will represent' simply an additional option to be used in particular in situations of armed conflict, namely on the predominantly "protection"; function distinct from the "approximate", or use in public events and initiatives and in peacetime, during which each organization will continue 'to use the symbols traditionally known. "
"In the history of mankind ', and in particular that of national and international political organizations, the symbols have always represented something more' than just identifying marks, no need to go away and just think, for us Italians, to force evocative and representative of the European flag, now a symbol of peace and unity 'of action - even between different countries - all over the world "
"The symbol of the International Red Cross, we all have learned to know and respect, and 'without doubt one of the symbols' known around the world, a universally respected symbol that embodies a feeling of more 'high humanity': mutual rescue and protection of the dignity 'of the person, even though wounded and weakened. This symbol is' one of the few to enjoy special protection by international law and e 'for this reason that our Parliament and' called today for formal employment. "
"Unfortunately - added the Hon. Port - this vote certainly will confirm that 'sensitivity' international and the historic roots of our country in terms of international cooperation and solidarity, comes at a historic moment in which Italy does not own is distinguished by its attention to the dimension of the multilateral peace support and development between peoples. I refer to the serious loss of funds allocated to international cooperation and under the same UN agencies, and 'these days the cry of alarm of NGOs, also picked up - at least in words - even by some members of the majority and the government, against the "cuts" in development cooperation, which depart more and more 'our country from compliance with the "Millennium Goals".
