title: [Red Cross: more than an indicative signal, an emblem and a denomination regulated for its use].
abstract: The Red Cross is an emblem that is almost universally known and is closely linked with humanitarian aid, medical and healthcare disasters, war, and in general with support and solidarity. Nevertheless, this emblem cannot be used by just anyone; it has special protection under International Humanitarian Law. In the case of Mexico, in addition to the above cited, the use of the emblem and the name "Red Cross" is regulated by law therefore, in this paper we analyze by whom, how, and when the use of this emblem is allowed without violating national and international regulations.
