Legal Department Acting Director Vladimir Tarabrin. Tarabrin
said the GOR continues to support the Third Additional
Protocol and will support the statutory amendments to the Red

June 20-21. Russia wants the movement to be universal, he
continued, and all National Societies should be given the
opportunity to participate. He regretted that some counties
had politicized fundamentally humanitarian issues.
