Enabling National Red Cross / Red Crescent Nuclear‑Risk Preparedness
Kyiv | 17 July 2025 – 4:30 EEST (UTC +3)
Please read alongside Unified State Advisory Memorandum No. 3 – Humanitarian Nuclear‑Risk Readiness (Movement Appeal).
In most countries, the National Red Cross or Red Crescent Society is recognised in law as an auxiliary to the public authorities in the humanitarian field—a unique status rooted in the Geneva Conventions and Movement Statutes that combines partnership with independence. Governments are encouraged to activate this partnership now for nuclear‑ and radiological‑risk preparedness.
Requested Government Facilitation
- Designate a Government Focal Point (civil protection / health / defence liaison) to connect with your National Society and the proposed Kyiv–Geneva Nuclear‑Risk Working Cell on evacuation planning, medical surge (burn & radiation care), and public warning protocols. IFRC operational guidance calls for National Society participation in national technological‑hazard contingency arrangements.
- Facilitate Technical Data‑Sharing (appropriate, non‑sensitive tiers) on shelter capacity, medical stockpiles, radiation monitoring, and cross‑border patient transfer, consistent with IAEA Emergency Preparedness & Response principles for integrated national capabilities.
- Link Health Authorities to WHO REMPAN radiation medical readiness networks and ensure your National Society is looped into national public‑health alerting, so community messaging is coherent in crisis.
- Safeguard Movement Neutrality. Civil‑military cooperation may be required for logistics and access, but RC/RC assets must never be directed for political or military advantage; Movement civil‑military guidance stresses independent humanitarian decision‑making to preserve trust and staff safety.
Next Steps
Please acknowledge receipt and provide:
- Name & secure contact for Government focal point.
- Confirmation that your Government will facilitate data exchange with its National Society (scope TBD).
- Any legal or operational constraints we should note (export controls, classification, data‑protection).
Unified State stands ready—only at the request and under the guidance of your National Society—to provide analytical, translation, or secure data‑transfer support that can ease coordination burdens.
Our axis of goodwill, love, and freedom holds; together we can keep it stable.
