International Peace League

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The International Peace League (also International League for Peace or International League for Peace and Freedom ; French Ligue internationale et permanente de la paix ) was founded on May 21, 1867 by Frédéric Passy to prevent a Franco- Prussian war in the context of the Luxembourg crisis . In the years 1867 (in Geneva ), 1868 (in Bern ) and 1869 the Peace League held congresses.

After the Franco-Prussian War of 1870 , the league was dissolved, then re-established as the Société française des amis de la paix (about the French Society of Friends of Peace ). From this in turn the Société d'arbitrage entre les Nations developed in 1889 (about arbitration society among the nations ).
