The President of the Swiss Confederation, Didier Burkhalter, inaugurated Pointe Dunant (4,632 metres) on Monte Rosa in Valais. By naming one of its highest peaks after Henri Dunant, the founder of the Red Cross and the first winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, Switzerland is underlining the great importance it attaches to humanitarian action and law.
