Today’s Final Jeopardy

Via a diplomatic conference in 2005, a diamond was added to supplement these 2 symbols, thought by some to have religious meaning

Final Jeopardy Answer

The Final Jeopardy Answer is: Red Cross and Red Crescent

Final Jeopardy Explanation 

The symbols referred to are the Red Cross and Red Crescent, which were supplemented by the addition of the Red Crystal in 2005. This addition occurred during a diplomatic conference aimed at enhancing the inclusivity and neutrality of these humanitarian emblems used in conflict zones and during humanitarian missions. The Red Cross and Red Crescent are widely recognized symbols used by affiliated organizations to signify medical and relief efforts in accordance with the Geneva Conventions. However, some countries and groups viewed these symbols as having religious connotations—specifically, Christian and Muslim respectively.

The introduction of the Red Crystal, a diamond-shaped symbol, was intended to provide a neutral alternative that does not suggest a connection to any particular religion or culture, thereby maintaining the universality and neutrality essential for the operations of organizations like the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and its affiliated societies. The Red Crystal serves the same protective and indicative purposes as the Red Cross and Red Crescent, signifying the presence of humanitarian aid workers and facilities in compliance with international humanitarian law. This addition has allowed nations and groups reluctant to use the cross or crescent to embrace the protective markers under a universally neutral emblem
