Ligue internationale de la paix

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

After the Franco-German war of 1870, the league then as Société française des amis de la paix (about French society of the friends of peace ) was dissolved and re-established. From this, in turn, in 1889 the Societe d'arbitrage entre les Nations developed (about Referees Society among the nations ).
