Biography
About
Charles Albert Gobat was born on 21 May 1843 in Switzerland, trained as a lawyer, and moved through educational administration and politics before landing at the helm of the Permanent International Peace Bureau. In 1902, he and Élie Ducommun jointly received the Nobel Peace Prize for their work steering the organization. He continued in that role until his death on 16 March 1914, just months before the war that would test every premise of the peace movement he'd spent years building.
