It was founded as the Red Cross Society of North Korea on 18 October 1946.{{sfn|Report of the DPRK Association for Human Rights Studies|2014|p=48}} It was admitted into the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) on 11 May 1956. This admittance had a great symbolic importance, as the North Korean regime remained outside most international organizations for decades. However, the DPRK RCS has been called "a misleadingly named state agency" by The Chosun Ilbo.[4] The DPRK RCS is active in flood relief work as flooding is a prominent humanitarian problem in North Korea. Issues related to water supply, damage to the infrastructure, landslides, a need for food aid, homelessness and waterborne diseases are also other humanitarian problems faced by the DPRK RCS. The society has participated in family reunions of Korean families separated by the Korean War and in repatriation of Japanese Koreans. Other humanitarian and relief activities abroad have targeted China, India, Iran, the former Soviet Union, Argentina, Jamaica, Egypt, Benin, and Somalia. HistoryThe society was founded as the "Red Cross Society of North Korea" on 18 October 1946. It was renamed "Red Cross Society of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea" in December 1948,{{sfn|Report of the DPRK Association for Human Rights Studies|2014|p=48}} by Decision No. 101 of the Cabinet of North Korea.[3] By 1950 it had become a nation-wide organization.[6] It was admitted into the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) on 11 May 1956.[4] This admittance had a great symbolic importance for North Korea, as the regime had been isolated from almost all of international organizations such as the United Nations,[5] which it only joined in 1991.[6] One of the original tasks for the society was prevention of once prevalent infectious diseases such as tuberculosis.[6] The DPRK RCS held a prominent role in aftermath of the Korean War. The society provided the people with food, clothing, bedding and medical services at provincial hospitals, and first aid posts.[6] The Law on the Red Cross Society of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea further defines its role,[3] and was adopted by Decree 2113 of the Presidium of the Supreme People's Assembly on 10 January 2007.{{sfn|Report of the DPRK Association for Human Rights Studies|2014|p=41}} The DPRK RCS was involved in repatriating Japanese Koreans in 1959 and in returning "unconverted long-term prisoners", North Korean loyalist prisoners in South Korea, in 1993 and 2000. The DPRK RCS has also worked on family reunions for families separated by the Korean War.[4] In 2016 the society celebrated its 70th anniversary, and foreign partners from the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement visited Sinyang County to learn about programs to improve food production and increase local awareness on natural disasters.[7] ActivitiesAdministratively DPRK RCS, has central, provincial, city and county level committees.{{sfn|Report of the DPRK Association for Human Rights Studies|2014|p=49}} Its secretary general is Ri Ho-rim, president Kang Sue-rin, vice chairman executive Yong Ho-paek, and vice chairmen Kim Hyong-hun and Ri Chung-bok.[1] The organization is based in the Central District of Pyongyang.[8] The conservative South Korean newspaper The Chosun Ilbo has called it "a misleadingly named state agency".[9] The DPRK RCS is often active in the flood relief work, as flooding in North Korea remains a major humanitarian concern. Other major humanitarian problems related to the flooding, and faced by the IFRC, are damage to the water supply in both urban and rural communities, damage to the infrastructure, landslides, a need for the food aid, homelessness and waterborne diseases.[8][7] {{As of|2016}}, deforestation remains a major contributing cause for natural disasters.[10] The DPRK RCS also sent aid to South Korea after record flooding there in August and early September 1984. The society's other humanitarian and relief activities abroad have targeted China, Japan, India, Iran, the former Soviet Union, Argentina, Jamaica, Egypt, Benin, and Somalia.[4] {{As of|2013|7}}, there were 3,300 Red Cross volunteers in the North Korea.[8]In 2013, its programs reached 8.89 million North Koreans.[1] Healthcare programs focusing on women and children have been implemented in 56 cities.[1] See also{{portal|North Korea|International relations}}
