Dunant, Jean Henri Philanthrope suisse (Genève, 1828 — Heiden, canton d'Appenzel, 1910). Dès sa jeunesse, Henri Dunant s'inquiète du sort des malheureux. Gardant en mémoire cette vision sanglante, Henri Dunant parcourt l'Europe et suscite un tel courant d'opinion en faveur des blessés de guerre que, le 22 août 1864, la Croix-Rouge est créée. En dépit de ce beau résultat, Henri Dunant mène par la suite une existence effacée et presque misérable; il devra s'exiler en Suisse allemande, à la suite d'ennuis financiers, et c'est seulement en 1901 qu'il reçoit, avec le Français Frédéric Passy , le prix Nobel de la paix.

While in Italy in , he visited the site of the Battle of Solferino , where he was stunned by the many thousands of wounded soldiers left on the battlefield to die, without receiving even the most basic medical attention that might have saved them. Upon his return to Geneva he wrote Souvenir of Solferino , a memoir of his experiences in Italy, in which he advocated the establishment of an international network of volunteer relief agencies. The book won the attention of Switzerland's Federal Council and in that country sponsored an international conference to discuss ways to implement Dunant's ideas as he expressed them in the Nine Articles .

Inicio Buscador Utilidades Recomendar sitio Enlaces Dunant, Jean-Henri Filántropo suizo fundador de la Cruz Roja (Ginebra, 1828 - Heiden, Apenzell, 1910). Este comerciante y banquero del patriciado de Ginebra militó en su juventud en movimientos cristianos. En 1859, mientras intentaba reunirse con Napoleón III para exponerle los problemas de sus negocios en Argelia, contempló el campo de batalla de Solferino después del enfrentamiento de los ejércitos austriaco y franco-piamontés que combatían en la guerra de unificación italiana; impresionado por aquel espectáculo de horror y por la ineficacia de los servicios sanitarios de la época, escribió Un recuerdo de Solferino, libro que publicaría en 1862. Desde entonces se lanzó a una campaña de sensibilización de los gobiernos y la opinión pública acerca de los sufrimientos de los heridos de guerra, luchando por mitigar las consecuencias humanas de los enfrentamientos bélicos, ya que no era posible acabar con ellos. Fruto de sus esfuerzos fueron la fundación de un servicio sanitario neutral para actuar en los campos de batalla -la Cruz Roja Internacional (1863)- y la reunión de la conferencia internacional que adoptó la Convención de Ginebra sobre heridos de guerra (1864). La dedicación a esta causa humanitaria le llevó a descuidar sus negocios, quedando totalmente arruinado en 1867; tras unos años de gloria pasajera, hubo de dimitir como presidente de la Cruz Roja y abandonar temporalmente Suiza perseguido por sus deudores. Halló refugio en la Francia del Segundo Imperio, cuyo titular -Napoleón III- le prestó apoyo incluso después de ser derrocado y exiliarse en Inglaterra. En 1887 regresó a Suiza para ser tratado de múltiples enfermedades, viviendo recluido en un sanatorio hasta su muerte. Olvidado prácticamente por todos, en la última década del siglo varios amigos reivindicaron su figura, que vio reconocida públicamente su labor con la concesión del primer Premio Nobel de la Paz en 1901.

Henri Dunant Gründer des "Roten Kreuzes" 8. Mai: Henri Dunant wird in Genf als Sohn von Jean-Jacques Dunant und dessen Frau Antoinette (geb. Colladon) geboren. Dunant beendet vorzeitig seine Schulausbildung am Calvin-Kolleg und beginnt eine Banklehre. Dunant reist zweimal nach Algerien und beginnt in der Schweiz kommerziell um Kolonisten zu werben. 9. Juli: Auf seine Initiative hin erscheint im "Journal de Genève" ein Hilfeaufruf für die Verwundeten von Solferino. Dunant schreibt "Eine Erinnerung an Solferino". Dunant wird in die "Gemeinnützige Gesellschaft" von Genf aufgenommen und erhält dort Unterstützung für seine Hilfsaktion. Die "Gemeinnützige Gesellschaft" setzt ein ständiges Komitee ein, welches einen Sanitäter- und Krankenhelferverband für kriegführende Armeen bilden soll. Daraus erwächst der Verband des "Roten Kreuzes". Auf einer diplomatischen Konferenz wird das "Genfer Abkommen zur Verbesserung des Loses der Verwundeten auf dem Feld" unterzeichnet, das die Neutralität des Sanitäterverbands festschreibt. Mit dieser Genfer Konvention wird dem offiziell gegründeten "Roten Kreuz" im Kriegsfall neutraler Schutz durch die Kriegsparteien garantiert. Zahlreiche Staaten treten der Konvention bei. Dunant tritt als Sekretär des "Internationalen Komitees vom Roten Kreuz" zurück und siedelt nach Paris über, wo er in ärmlichen Verhältnissen lebt.

Entries Publication Data Maps Contributors ... World Civilizations Reader's Companion to Military History Dunant, Jean Henri Swiss Philanthropist and Pacifist Scion of a bourgeois Geneva family, Jean Henri Dunant was horrified by the carnage of nearly forty thousand casualties he witnessed on the battlefield at Solferino, Italy, in 1859. He organized emergency care for wounded French and Austrian troops, to whom he became known as "the man in white." In a memoir published in 1862, he proposed the organization of relief societies in time of peace to care for the wounded in wartime, which led in 1864 to the foundation of the Red Cross and the drafting of the first international code of rules for war, the Geneva Convention. Neglecting his affairs, this tireless pacifist went bankrupt in 1867 campaigning against slavery, against "new and frightful weapons of destruction," and in favor of disarmament, international arbitration, humane treatment for prisoners of war, and the purchase of land in Palestine for the resettlement of Jews—well before the rise of the Zionist movement. Dunant shared the first Nobel Peace Prize in 1901 with Frédéric Passy, another Swiss. The International Red Cross, staffed by Swiss and functioning as a trusted go-between during armed conflicts, nevertheless engenders a certain amount of cynicism in Switzerland, where, in an allusion to one of the nation's principal arms exporters, it is sometimes wryly referred to as "the Oerlikon-Bürhle after-sales service."

Oct. 30, 1910, Heiden), Swiss humanitarian, founder of the Red Cross (now Red Cross and Red Crescent), a founder of the World's Young Men's Christian Association, and cowinner of the first Nobel Prize for Peace , in 1901. An eyewitness of the Battle of Solferino (June 24, 1859), which resulted in nearly 40,000 casualties, Dunant organized emergency aid services for the Austrian and French wounded. In (1862), he proposed the formation in all countries of voluntary relief societies for the prevention and alleviation of suffering in war and peacetime, without distinction of race or creed; he also proposed an international agreement covering the war wounded. In 1864, the year he founded the Red Cross, the first national societies and the first Geneva Convention came into being. Having gone bankrupt because he neglected his business affairs, Dunant left Geneva in 1867 and spent most of the rest of his life in poverty and obscurity. He continued to promote interest in the treatment of prisoners of war, the abolition of slavery, international arbitration, disarmament, and the establishment of a Jewish homeland. After he was "rediscovered" by a journalist at Heiden, Switz., in 1895, Dunant received many honours and annuities, including the first Nobel Prize for Peace.
