Since 1949, the Israeli emergency relief organization "Red Shield of David" has been seeking to join the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, but refuses to use the "Red Cross" or "Red Crescent" emblem for religious reasons. Representatives of the signatory countries of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement and representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies adopted the Third Additional Protocol to the Geneva Conventions at a special session in Geneva in December 2005, agreeing to accept the "Red Crystal" emblem. In June 2006, the Israeli "Red Shield of David" and the Palestinian Red Crescent Society joined the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement simultaneously.
