Biography
About
Henri La Fontaine was born on 22 April 1854 in Belgium and trained as an international lawyer. He rose to lead the International Peace Bureau, the organizational center of the continent's peace movement in the early twentieth century. His work coordinating activists, conferences, and pressure campaigns across borders earned him the Nobel Peace Prize in 1913, the committee citing him as "the effective leader of the peace movement in Europe." The prize came one year before the war that would consume the world he'd tried to hold together. He died on 14 May 1943.
