Three important events affected the ICRC's financial position in 1968, namely:
1. The decision of the Swiss Federal Council on 13 March to increase to 2.5 million francs Switzerland's regular annual contribution to the ICRC and also to convert into a subsidy the current account advances granted over previous years to finance relief actions. These advances had been drawn from a 7.5 million franc credit granted in 1946.

The ICRC in 1967 published a brief work of some sixty pages entitled The Principles of International Humanitarian Law, which fills a gap, as can be seen, both as regards international public law and in the Red Cross world. It is in fact a synthesis of fundamental notions, often referred to but rarely denned, the proper understanding of which is of primary importance for anyone concerned in problems of humanitarian law and especially in its application within the Red Cross.

It is known that following on events which took place in Greece in April 1967, the International Committee of the Red Cross intervened on behalf of political detainees and was thus able to undertake a humanitarian action which the International Review has described on several occasions. It has been considered of interest to mention certain facts on the subject and show the present position.
