Summary

Description
English: The busts of Gustave Moynier (1826-1910) and Henry Dunant (1828-1910), co-founders of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), in the foyer of the rotunda at the ICRC headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland. While Dunant initiated the idea that led to the founding of the ICRC in 1863, he was pressured shortly after his 1867 bankruptcy by Moynier to resign from the organisation. Both men never reconciled.
