PEACE: Henri Dunant 1901 - Laval, QC, Canada - Nobel Laureates on Waymarking.com

Henri Dunant,, né sous le nom de Jean-Henri Dunant née le 8 mai 1828 à Genève et mort le 30 octobre 1910 à Heiden, est un humaniste et homme d'affaires suisse. Il est l'un des fondateurs de la Croix Rouge.

Pendant un voyage d'affaires en juin 1859, il se trouve à proximité de la ville italienne de Solférino et découvre les dégâts humains de la bataille qui s’y déroula. À partir de cette expérience, il écrit un livre intitulé Un souvenir de Solférino qu'il publie en 1862.

Une année plus tard, il participe à Genève à la fondation du Comité international de secours aux militaires blessés, désigné dès 1876 sous le nom de Comité international de la Croix-Rouge. La première convention de Genève est ratifiée en 1864 et se réfère largement à ses propositions. Il obtient avec Frédéric Passy le premier prix Nobel de la paix en 1901 et est ainsi considéré comme le fondateur du mouvement de la Croix-Rouge internationale.
