## Bio

Born in Geneva in 1833, Ducommun moved through tutoring, language teaching, journalism, and a stint translating for the Swiss federal Chancellery before helping found the League of Peace and Freedom in 1867. He spent nearly two decades as secretary for the Jura-Simplon Steel Company, then in 1891 took the helm of the newly formed International Peace Bureau in Bern - the first non-governmental international peace organization - and refused a salary, insisting he served only for the ideal. His organizational precision made the bureau work, and from 1895 he directed its journal, Correspondance bi-mensuelle. The Nobel committee gave him and Charles Albert Gobat the Peace Prize in 1902. He stayed at the post until his death in Bern four years later.
