25. Ducommun, Elie elie ducommun (February 19, 1833December 7, 1906), Swiss journalist, eloquent lecturer, business executive, steadfast advocate of peace, was born in Geneva http://www.cartage.org.lb/en/themes/Biographies/MainBiographies/D/Ducommun/Ducom

Ducommun, Elie Elie Ducommun (February 19, 1833-December 7, 1906), Swiss journalist, eloquent lecturer, business executive, steadfast advocate of peace, was born in Geneva, the son of a clock maker whose original home was in Neuchâtel. Early in his boyhood he gave evidence of his capacity to make the most of his remarkable talent and intelligence by intense application. He was, indeed, a «literary» man, absorbed for the most part in journalism but finding time, also, to publish poetry and to perform his duties as official translator for the National Council. August Schou, director of the Norwegian Nobel Institute, points out that Ducommun's writing often showed «striking acuity of thought», citing a dialogue he wrote in 1901 in which he refutes the notion current in that day that a war between major powers would be short because of the destructiveness of modern weapons, and predicts, in its stead, a long «war of attrition with alternating advances and retreats, and with operations bound up with a system of trenches and strongpoints». Ducommun was also a political figure of some consequence. In Bern he was a member of the Grand Council for ten years; in Geneva, prior to his leaving in 1865, he was a member of the Grand Council for nine years, becoming vice-chancellor in 1857 and chancellor of state of Geneva in 1862.

In , Elie Wiesel was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize The Norwegian Nobel Committee called Wiesel a "messenger to mankind", noting that through his struggle to come to terms with "his own personal experience of total humiliation and of the utter contempt for humanity shown in Hitler's death camps", as well as his "practical work in the cause of peace", Wiesel has delivered a powerful message "of peace, atonement and human dignity" to humanity. Wiesel lives in the United States, teaches at Boston University and serves as the Chairman of The Elie Wiesel Foundation for Humanity.

Home Recherche Annuaires Départements ... Liens Elie Ducommun, homme politique et Prix Nobel de la Paix 1902 Les Etats-Unis d'Europe Sa position heurte celle défendue par les démocrates, adversaires des radicaux. Tant A. Turrettini, frère du procureur général, que de Candolle attaquent violemment Elie Ducommun et se plaignent que sa position soit incompatible avec sa fonction de chancelier. Le député de Candolle s'écrie même : " Je regrette que la proposition de M. Ducommun comme député exprime une opinion tout autre que celle de M. le chancelier Ducommun " (janvier 1865). La carrière parlementaire genevoise d'Elie Ducommun, relativement brève - mais il sera aussi dix ans député au Grand Conseil de Berne - montre un jeune homme fidèle à son parti, actif, curieux de tout. Au fond, un excellent député à qui il convient, en conclusion, de donner la parole. Sans grand effet de manche, comment ne pas approuver Elie Ducommun lorsqu'il s'écrie : " L'Etat est là pour être prévoyant non pas pour les citoyens pris individuellement, mais pour les citoyens en général ".

Prix Nobel en 1902 Pacifisme Etudie à l'Académie de Genève puis devient précepteur dans une famille de la Saxe de 1850 à 1853. Enseignant de langues, journaliste, éditeur, traducteur de la Chancellerie fédérale, 1869-1879, puis secrétaire de la Compagnie de fer Jura-Simplon, 1873-1891, il est membre fondateur à Genève, en 1867, de la Ligue de la paix et de la liberté En 1891, il est choisi pour diriger le Bureau international de la paix (fondé en 1891), dont le siège est établi à Berne. Il accepte, à la condition de servir sans rétribution et uniquement par idéalisme. Organisateur né, il est en contact avec toutes les sociétés nationales de la paix et assure la poursuite de cette 1ère organisation de la paix non-gouvernementale jusqu'à sa mort. Extrait de l'ntroduction de la brochure Rôle de la guerre et de la paix , Conférence d'Elie Ducommun donnée à Lausanne le 3 décembre 1898. " Un journaliste étranger me disait récemment : Vous devez, en Suisse, être unanimes à souhaiter que les guerres deviennent impossibles, et la propagande pour le mouvement pacifique doit être facile chez vous!" Nous voudrions qu'il en fût ainsi, mais tel n'est pas le cas, malheureusement, bien que nous possédions une armée de milices et fort peu d'officers de carrière.

JE ME SOUVIENS... (I REMEMBER...) By Irwin Abrams Published as "Je me souviens..." in United Nations Library at Geneva: Catalogue of the Centenary Exhibition of the International Peace Bureau (Geneva: United Nations Office, 1992): 3-5. Arrival in Geneva My first port of call was Geneva, the site of the League of Nations and headquarters for the internationalists of the day. There I was to meet such leading figures of the pre-war peace movement as Ludwig Quidde, Nobel Peace Prize laureate, a refugee from Hitler Germany; Christian Lange, also a Nobel peace prizewinner and a leading scholar on internationalism, who was a member of the Norwegian delegation to the League Assembly; and Theodore Ruyssen, a veteran of the French peace movement, now secretary-general of the International Union of Associations for the League of Nations. I was also to interview Hans Wehberg, international lawyer and publicist, who had an unrivalled knowledge of the peace movement's history. They were all helpful, and it was a privilege to meet such men, but a historian must have written records, and in Geneva I hoped to see what might be preserved of the archives of the IPB, which could go back to its founding in Berne by action of the World Peace Congress of l89l. I knew that it still occupied the same premises to which it had moved in l924. And I had also learned that the Library of the League had acquired the papers of Fried and Baroness von Suttner, both leaders in the peace movement in the 1890's.

Elie Ducommun Le franc-maçon genevois Né à Genève le 19 février 1833 d'un père horloger originaire du canton de Neuchatel, Elie Ducommun partit à l'âge de dix-sept ans, après avoir terminé ses études, comme précepteur en Allemagne où il demeura trois ans. De retour à Genève avec l'intention d'entrer dans l'enseignement, il fut bientôt saisi par le virus de l'action politique. James Fazi, qui avait pu apprécier la force de travail et la lucidité de pensée du jeune homme, l'appela en 1855 à la direction de la Revue de Genève qu'il venait de fonder Une année plus tard, Elie Ducommun est initié dans la loge genevoise La Prudence . Il a vingt-trois ans. L'année qui suit son initiation, répondant à l'appel de James Fazi dont il était un des chauds partisan, Elie Ducommun devient vice-chancelier de l'Etat de Genève puis chancelier en 1862. Après le revirement politique qui amène les "Indépendants" au pouvoir en 1865, Elie Ducommun se démet de ses fonctions et retourne à la presse.
