Henry Dunant\u00a0<\/span>(born Jean-Henri Dunant; 8 May 1828 \u2013 30 October 1910), also known as Henri Dunant, was a Swiss humanitarian, businessman and social activist. He was the visionary, promoter and co-founder of the Red Cross.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

During a business trip in 1859, Dunant was witness to the aftermath of the Battle of Solferino in modern-day Italy. He recorded his memories and experiences in the book A Memory of Solferino which inspired the creation of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in 1863. The 1864 Geneva Convention was based on Dunant’s idea for an independent\u00a0<\/span>organisation<\/span>\u00a0to care for wounded soldiers.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dunant was the founder of the Swiss branch of the Young Men’s Christian Association YMCA.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In 1901 he received the first Nobel Peace Prize together with Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Passy, making Dunant the first Swiss Nobel laureate.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dunant was born in Geneva, Switzerland, in 1828 as the first son of businessman Jean-Jacques Dunant and Antoinette Dunant-<\/span>Colladon<\/span>. His family was devoutly Calvinist and had significant influence in Geneva society. His parents stressed the value of social work, and his father was active helping orphans and parolees, while his mother worked with the sick and poor.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dunant grew up during the period of religious awakening known as the\u00a0<\/span>R\u00e9veil<\/span>, and at age 18 he joined the Geneva Society for Alms giving. In the following year, together with friends, he founded the so-called “Thursday Association”, a loose band of young men that met to study the Bible and help the poor, and he spent much of his free time engaged in prison visits and social work. On 30 November 1852, he founded the Geneva chapter of the YMCA and three years later he took part in the Paris meeting devoted to the founding of its international organization.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In 1849, at age 21, Dunant left the Coll\u00e8ge de Gen\u00e8ve due to poor grades, and he began an apprenticeship with the money-changing firm\u00a0<\/span>Lullin<\/span>\u00a0et\u00a0<\/span>Sautter<\/span>. After its successful conclusion, he remained as an employee of the bank.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In 1853, Dunant visited Algeria, Tunisia, and Sicily, on assignment with a company devoted to the “colonies of\u00a0<\/span>Setif<\/span>” (Compagnie\u00a0<\/span>genevoise<\/span>\u00a0des Colonies de\u00a0<\/span>S\u00e9tif<\/span>). Despite little experience, he successfully fulfilled the assignment. Inspired by the trip, he wrote his first book with the title An Account of the Regency in Tunis (Notice sur la\u00a0<\/span>R\u00e9gence<\/span>\u00a0de Tunis), published in 1858.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In 1856, he created a business to operate in foreign colonies, and, after being granted a land concession by French-occupied Algeria, a corn-growing and trading company called the Financial and Industrial Company of Mons-<\/span>Dj\u00e9mila<\/span>\u00a0Mills (Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 financi\u00e8re et\u00a0<\/span>industrielle<\/span>\u00a0des Moulins des Mons-<\/span>Dj\u00e9mila<\/span>). However, the land and water rights were not clearly assigned, and the colonial authorities were not\u00a0<\/span>especially cooperative. As a result, Dunant decided to appeal directly to French emperor Napol\u00e9on III, who was with his army in Lombardy at the time. France was fighting on the side of Piedmont-Sardinia against Austria, who had occupied much of today’s Italy. Napoleon’s headquarters were located in the small city of Solferino. Dunant wrote a flattering book full of praise for Napoleon III with the intention to present it to the emperor, and then traveled to Solferino to meet with him personally.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dunant arrived in\u202f<\/span>Solferino<\/span>\u202fon the evening of 24 June 1859, on the same day a\u202f<\/span>battle<\/span>\u202fbetween the two sides had occurred nearby. Twenty-three thousand wounded, dying and dead remained on the battlefield, and there appeared to be little attempt to provide care. Shocked, Dunant himself took the initiative to organize the civilian population, especially the women and girls, to provide assistance to the injured and sick soldiers. They lacked sufficient materials and supplies, and Dunant himself organized the purchase of needed materials and helped erect makeshift hospitals. He convinced the population to service the wounded without regard to their side in the conflict as per the slogan “<\/span>Tutti<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/i>fratelli<\/span><\/i>” (All are brothers) coined by the women of nearby city\u202f<\/span>Castiglione\u00a0<\/span>delle<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Stiviere<\/span>. He also succeeded in gaining the release of Austrian doctors captured by the French.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Red Cross founding history\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

After returning to Geneva early in July, Dunant decided to write a book about his experiences, which he titled Un Souvenir de Solferino (A Memory of Solferino). It was published in 1862 in an edition of 1,600 copies and was printed at Dunant’s own expense. In the book, he described the battle, its costs, and the chaotic circumstances afterwards. He also developed the idea that in the future a neutral organization should exist to provide care to wounded soldiers. He distributed the book to many leading political and military figures in Europe.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Drawing of the five founders of the International Committee.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dunant also began to travel through Europe to promote his ideas. His book was largely positively received, and the President of the Geneva Society for Public Welfare, jurist Gustave\u00a0<\/span>Moynier<\/span>, made the book and its suggestions the topic of the 9 February 1863 meeting of the organization. Dunant’s recommendations were examined and positively assessed by the members. They created a five-person Committee to further pursue the possibility of their implementation and made Dunant one of the members. The others were\u00a0<\/span>Moynier<\/span>, the Swiss army general Henri Dufour, and doctors Louis\u00a0<\/span>Appia<\/span>\u00a0and Th\u00e9odore\u00a0<\/span>Maunoir<\/span>. Their first meeting on 17 February 1863 is now considered the founding date of the International Committee of the Red Cross.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

From early on,\u00a0<\/span>Moynier<\/span>\u00a0and Dunant had increasing disagreements and conflicts regarding their respective visions and plans.\u00a0<\/span>Moynier<\/span>\u00a0considered Dunant’s idea to establish neutrality protections for care providers unfeasible and advised Dunant not to insist upon this concept. However, Dunant continued to advocate this position in his travels and conversations with high-ranking political and\u00a0<\/span>military figures. This intensified the personal conflict between\u00a0<\/span>Moynier<\/span>, who took a rather pragmatic approach to the project, and Dunant, who was the idealist among the five.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In October 1863, 14 states took part in a meeting in Geneva organized by the committee to discuss the improvement of care for wounded soldiers. Dunant was a protocol leader during the meeting. A year later on 22 August 1864, a diplomatic conference organized by the Swiss Parliament led to the signing of the First Geneva Convention by 12 states. Dunant was in charge of organizing accommodation for the attendees.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dunant’s businesses in Algeria had suffered. In April 1867, the bankruptcy of the financial firm Cr\u00e9dit\u00a0<\/span>Genevois<\/span>\u00a0led to a scandal involving Dunant. He declared bankruptcy and was condemned by the Geneva Trade Court on 17 August 1868 for deceptive practices in the bankruptcies. Due to their investments in the firm, his family and many of his friends were also heavily affected by the downfall of the company. The social outcry in Geneva, a city deeply rooted in Calvinist traditions, also led to calls for him to separate himself from the International Committee. On 25 August 1868, he resigned as Secretary and, on 8 September, he was fully removed from the Committee.\u00a0<\/span>Moynier<\/span>, became President of the Committee in 1864.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In February 1868, Dunant’s mother died. Later that year he was expelled from the YMCA. In March 1867, he left his home city Geneva and would not return for the rest of his life. In the following years,\u00a0<\/span>Moynier<\/span>\u00a0likely used his influence to attempt to ensure that Dunant would not receive assistance and support from his friends. For example, the gold medal prize of Sciences Morales at the Paris World’s Fair did not go to Dunant as originally planned but to\u00a0<\/span>Moynier<\/span>, Dufour, and Dunant together so that the prize money would only go to the Committee as a whole. Napol\u00e9on III’s offer to take over half of Dunant’s debts if Dunant’s friends would secure the other half was also thwarted by\u00a0<\/span>Moynier’s<\/span>\u00a0efforts.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dunant moved to Paris, where he lived in meager conditions. However, he continued to pursue his humanitarian ideas and plans. During the Franco-Prussian War (1870\u20131871), he founded the Common Relief Society (Allgemeine\u00a0<\/span>F\u00fcrsorgegesellschaft<\/span>) and soon after the Common Alliance for Order and Civilization (Allgemeine Allianz\u00a0<\/span>f\u00fcr<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Ordnung<\/span>\u00a0und\u00a0<\/span>Zivilisation<\/span>). He argued for disarmament negotiations and for the erection of an international court to mediate international conflicts. Later he worked for the creation of a world library, an idea which had echoes in future projects such as UNESCO.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In his continued pursuit and advocacy of his ideas, he further neglected his personal situation and income, falling further in debt and being shunned by his acquaintances. Despite being appointed an honorary member of the national Red Cross societies of Austria, the Netherlands, Sweden, Prussia and Spain, he was nearly forgotten in the official discourse of the Red Cross Movement, even as it was rapidly expanding to new countries. He lived in poverty, moving to various places between 1874 and 1886, including Stuttgart, Rome, Corfu, Basel, and Karlsruhe. In Stuttgart he met the T\u00fcbingen University\u00a0<\/span>student Rudolf M\u00fcller with whom he would have a close friendship. In 1881, together with friends from Stuttgart, he went to the small Swiss resort village\u00a0<\/span>Heiden<\/span>\u00a0for the first time. In 1887 while living in London, he began to receive some monthly financial support from some distant family members. This enabled him to live a somewhat more secure existence, and he moved to\u00a0<\/span>Heiden<\/span>\u00a0in July. He spent the rest of his life there, and after 30 April 1892 he lived in a hospital and nursing home led by Dr. Hermann\u00a0<\/span>Altherr<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In\u00a0<\/span>Heiden<\/span>, he met the young teacher Wilhelm\u00a0<\/span>Sonderegger<\/span>\u00a0and his wife Susanna; they encouraged him to record his life experiences.\u00a0<\/span>Sonderegger’s<\/span>\u00a0wife founded a branch of the Red Cross in\u00a0<\/span>Heiden<\/span>\u00a0and in 1890 Dunant became its honorary president. With\u00a0<\/span>Sonderegger<\/span>, Dunant hoped to further promote his ideas, including publishing a new edition of his book. However, their friendship later was strained by Dunant’s unjustified accusations that\u00a0<\/span>Sonderegger<\/span>, with\u00a0<\/span>Moynier<\/span>\u00a0in Geneva, was somehow conspiring against Dunant.\u00a0<\/span>Sonderegger<\/span>\u00a0died in 1904 at age 42. Despite their strained relationship, Dunant was deeply moved by the unexpected death. Wilhelm and Susanna\u00a0<\/span>Sonderegger’s<\/span>\u00a0admiration for Dunant, felt by both even after Dunant’s allegations, was passed on to their children. In 1935, their son Ren\u00e9 published a compilation of letters from Dunant to his father.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Return to public memory\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

In September 1895, Georg\u00a0<\/span>Baumberger<\/span>, the chief editor of the St. Gall newspaper Die\u00a0<\/span>Ostschweiz<\/span>, wrote an article about the Red Cross founder, whom he had met and conversed with during a walk in\u00a0<\/span>Heiden<\/span>\u00a0a month earlier. The article entitled “Henri Dunant, the founder of the Red Cross”, appeared in the German Illustrated Magazine\u00a0<\/span>\u00dcber<\/span>\u00a0Land und Meer, and the article was soon reprinted in other publications throughout Europe. The article struck a chord, and he received renewed attention and support. He received the Swiss Binet-Fendt Prize and a note from Pope Leo XIII. Because of support from Russian tsarist widow Maria Feodorovna and other donations, his financial situation improved remarkably.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In 1897, Rudolf M\u00fcller, who was now working as a teacher in Stuttgart, wrote a book about the origins of the Red Cross, altering the official history to stress Dunant’s role. The book also contained the text of A Memory of Solferino. Dunant began an exchange of correspondence with Bertha von Suttner and wrote numerous articles and writings. He was especially active in writing about women’s rights, and in 1897 facilitated the founding of a “Green Cross” women’s organization whose only section was briefly active in Brussels.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Nobel Peace Prize\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In 1901, Dunant was awarded the first-ever Nobel Peace Prize for his role in founding the International Red Cross Movement and initiating the Geneva Convention. By public and private means, M\u00fcller, and later Norwegian military physician Hans\u00a0<\/span>Daae<\/span>\u00a0(who had received a copy of M\u00fcller’s book), advocated Dunant’s case to the Nobel committee over the course of 4 years. The award was jointly given to French pacifist Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Passy, founder of the Peace League and active with Dunant in the Alliance for Order and Civilization. The official congratulations which he received from the International Committee finally represented the rehabilitation of Dunant’s reputation:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“There is no man who more deserves this\u00a0<\/span>honour<\/span>, for it was you, forty years ago, who set on foot the international organization for the relief of the wounded on the battlefield. Without you, the Red Cross, the supreme humanitarian achievement of the nineteenth century would probably have never been undertaken.”<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Moynier<\/span>\u00a0and the International Committee as a whole had also been nominated for the prize. Although Dunant was supported by a broad spectrum in the selection process, he was still a controversial candidate. Some argued that the Red Cross and the Geneva Convention had made war more attractive and imaginable by eliminating some of its suffering. Therefore, M\u00fcller, in a letter to the committee, argued that the prize should be divided between Dunant and Passy, who for some time in the debate had been the leading candidate to be the sole recipient of the prize. M\u00fcller also suggested that if a prize were to be warranted for Dunant, it should be given immediately because of his advanced age and ill health.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

By dividing the prize between Passy, a pacifist, and Dunant, a humanitarian, the Nobel Committee set a precedent for the conditions of the Nobel Peace Prize selection which would have significant consequences in later years. A section of Nobel’s will had indicated that the prize should go to an individual who had worked to reduce or eliminate standing armies, or directly to promote peace conferences, which made Passy a natural choice for his peace work. On the other hand, the arguably distinct bestowal for humanitarian effort alone was seen by some as a wide interpretation of Nobel’s will. However, another part of Nobel’s testament marked the prize for the individual who had best enhanced the “brotherhood of people,” which could be interpreted more generally as seeing humanitarian work like Dunant’s as connected to peacemaking as well. Many recipients of the Nobel Peace Prize in later years can be assigned to either of these two categories first roughly established by the Nobel committee’s decision in 1901.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hans\u00a0<\/span>Daae<\/span>\u00a0succeeded in placing Dunant’s part of the prize money, 104,000 Swiss Francs, in a Norwegian Bank and preventing access by his creditors. Dunant himself never spent any of the money during his lifetime, continuing to live simply and reserving it for bequests in his will to those who cared for him and charitable causes.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Death and legacy\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Among several other awards in the following years, in 1903 Dunant was given an honorary doctorate by the medical faculty of the University of Heidelberg. He lived in the nursing home in\u00a0<\/span>Heiden<\/span>\u00a0until his death. In the final years of his life, he suffered from depression and paranoia about pursuit by his creditors and\u00a0<\/span>Moynier<\/span>. There were even days when Dunant insisted that the cook of the nursing home first taste his food before his eyes to protect him against possible poisoning. In his final years, he spurned and attacked Calvinism and organized religion generally. He was said to be agnostic.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to his nurses, the final act of his life was to send a copy of M\u00fcller’s book to the Italian queen with a personal dedication. He died on 30 October 1910, and his final words were “Where has humanity gone?”<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to his wishes, he was buried without ceremony in the\u00a0<\/span>Sihlfeld<\/span>\u00a0Cemetery in Zurich. In his will, he donated funds to secure a “free bed” in the\u00a0<\/span>Heiden<\/span>\u00a0nursing home always to be available for a poor citizen of the region and deeded some money to friends and charitable organizations in Norway and Switzerland. The remaining funds went to his creditors partially relieving his debt; his inability to fully erase his debts was a major burden to him until his death.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

His birthday, 8 May, is celebrated as the World Red Cross and Red Crescent Day. The former nursing home in\u00a0<\/span>Heiden<\/span>\u00a0now houses the Henry Dunant Museum. In Geneva and other places there are numerous streets, squares, and schools named after him. The Henry Dunant Medal, awarded every two years by the standing commission of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement is its highest decoration.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

His life is represented, with some fictional elements, in the film\u00a0<\/span>D’homme<\/span>\u00a0\u00e0 hommes (1948), starring Jean-Louis\u00a0<\/span>Barrault<\/span>, and the period of his life when the Red Cross was founded in the international film coproduction Henry Dunant: Red on the Cross (2006). In 2010 the\u00a0<\/span>Takarazuka<\/span>\u00a0Revue staged a musical based on his time in Solferino and the founding of the Red Cross entitled Dawn at Solferino, or Where has Humanity\u00a0<\/span>Gone?.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In\u00a0<\/span>honour<\/span>\u00a0of Henry Dunant, the second highest peak in Switzerland was renamed to\u00a0<\/span>Dunantspitze<\/span>\u00a0(Peak<\/span>)\u00a0<\/span>Dunant<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0by<\/span>\u00a0Swiss Federal President Didier Burkhalter on 6 October 2014.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
