The Peace Through Law Association ((フランス語:APD: Association de la paix par le droit)) was a French pacifist organization active in the years before World War I (1914–18) that continued to promote its cause throughout the inter-war period leading up to World War II (1939–45). For many years it was the leading organization of the fragmented French pacifist movement. The APD believed that peace could be maintained through an internationally agreed legal framework, with mediation to resolve disputes. It did not support individual conscientious objection, which it thought was ineffective. It would not align with the left-wing "peace at all costs" groups, or with the right-wing groups that thought the League of Nations was all that was needed. ==Background== Several pacifist organizations were active in France in the late 19th century and early 20th century. The French Society for Arbitration Between Nations (''Société française pour l’arbitrage entre les nations'') was founded by Frédéric Passy (1822–1912), who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1901. The International League for Peace and Freedom (LIPL: ''Ligue internationale de la paix et de la liberté'') was founded in Geneva in 1867 and was chaired by Charles Lemonnier (1860–1930). The LIPL was based in Switzerland until 1919, but had a Paris committee headed by Émile Arnaud (1864–1921), who became president of the League in 1891. The League published a monthly journal, ''Les États-Unis d’Europe'' (The United States of Europe). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Peace Through Law Association」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
