English: International logo of the Flemish Red Cross (Belgian Red Cross, Flemish Community; using the name Rode Kruis Vlaanderen within Belgium). Outside of Belgium, Rode Kruis Vlaanderen has to adhere to the universal principles of the Red Cross Societies and it uses the name Belgian Red Cross, in the styling of the 'Rode Kruis Vlaanderen' logo and visual identity.
The Belgian Red Cross (consisting of the National Chapter, the French-speaking Community, the German-speaking Community and the Committee for the Brussels-Capital Region) also uses the name Belgian Red Cross when abroad, but in a different styling corresponding to the visual identity of the Belgian Red Kruis instead of Rode Kruis Vlaanderen. National communications which include the engagement of Rode Kruis Vlaanderen use the latter instead of the logo present on this image.
The use of the symbol shown in this image is regulated by certain international treaties, particularly the Hague Conventions of 1899 and 1907, the Geneva Conventions of 1949 and their additional protocols of 1977 and 2005, as well as other rules of International Humanitarian Law either in written agreements or by long-standing customs. Misuse of this symbol is prohibited by these treaties as well as by national law in all countries which have ratified them. These restrictions are independent of the copyright status of the depiction shown here.
