Who We Are
The Intercountry Committees (ICC) of Rotary operate as vital bridges between nations, linking Rotarians and districts across geographic and cultural borders. Established to cultivate enduring international understanding, goodwill, and peace, ICC networks transform bilateral relationships into active, community-led humanitarian missions.
Originating in Europe in the wake of post-war reconstruction in 1950, the ICC movement was founded upon a singular conviction: that direct, personal fellowship between Rotarians of differing nations can dissolve historic divides. Today, our global framework facilitates bilateral cross-border service projects, youth exchanges, and conflict transformation programs worldwide.
