Several pacifist organizations were active in France in the late 19th century & early 20th century. The French Society for Arbitration Between Nations (Société française pour l’arbitrage entre les nations) was founded by Frederic Passy (1822-1912), who won the Nobel Peace Price in 1901. The International League for Peace & Freedom (LIPL: Ligue internationale de la paix et de la liberté) was founded in Geneva in 1867 & was chaired by Charles Lemonnier (1860-1930). The LIPL was based in Switzerland until 1919, but had a Paris committee headed by Emile Arnaud (1864-1921), who became president of the League in 1891.
